In computer vision, sets of data acquired by sampling the same scene or object at different times, or from different perspectives, will be in different coordinate systems. Image registration is the process of transforming the different sets of data into one coordinate system. Registration is necessary in order to be able to compare or integrate the data obtained from different measurements. Image registration is the process of transforming the different sets of data into one coordinate system. To be precise it involves finding transformations that relate spatial information conveyed in one image to that in another or in physical space. Image registration is performed on a series of at least two images, where one of these images is the reference image to which all the others will be registered. The other images are referred to as target images.
