Abstract
This paper presents image registration using a combination of Hough transform, phase correlation and best-first search algorithm to estimate rotation and translation parameters. These parameters are used to register input images and create a seamless representation of the registered image. In the first step, the translation of angles are pre-calculated based on ID phase correlation in Hough space and used as candidate angles. Then, best-first search algorithm is applied to obtain the best translation of angle from candidate angles, which is used to de-rotated the input images. In the second step, the translation in x-y axis is computed using 2D phase correlation. Finally, the input images are registered using the estimated translation parameter. The experimental results using various image details and sizes show the accuracy of the proposed technique to detect the translation parameters. The best-first search algorithm can help to increase the precision of rotation parameter after Hough transform and phase correlation while require less amount of processing time compared to full search algorithm.
