image registration - limitations in scope - object is near by - object is given - alternate techniques - coarse-fine - alpha-beta pruning - limited search space derivative estimate - begin with average - use the second derivative for weighted average alternative estimate - no div by zero problems - more general - can add weighting from the original convergence - for sinusoids it will converge if h < half period - lowpass filtering helps convergence - coarse-fine can be used derivative estimation - f' = f(x + dx) - f(x) / dx - fancier techniques are pretty much LPF then differentiate generalizations - affine transforms - solve simultaneously
