An FFT-based technique for translation, rotation, and scale-invariant image registration

IEEE Trans Image Process. 1996;5(8):1266-71. doi: 10.1109/83.506761.

Abstract

This correspondence discusses an extension of the well-known phase correlation technique to cover translation, rotation, and scaling. Fourier scaling properties and Fourier rotational properties are used to find scale and rotational movement. The phase correlation technique determines the translational movement. This method shows excellent robustness against random noise.
