Abstract:

Template matching is the process of aligning two or more images. This study aims to present a comprehensive review and comparison of the performance of classical as well as recent template matching techniques. For each class of techniques, speed-up mechanisms are considered. Both exact and approximate mechanisms are studied, including Successive Elimination Algorithm (SEA), Partial Distortion Elimination (PDE), Bounded Partial Correlation (BPC), B.P. Lewis's method, polynomial-based Fast Template Matching (FTM), multi-resolution schemes (pyramids) and frequency domain computation. Experimental results are presented to support the analysis and comparison.
