Re: Image rotation detection probelm

Hi Phillip,

Thanks for replying. I do not get the part on correct registration. Say if I have an image of the letter 'A' rotated. I try to do a xcorr of the polar transform of this image with the image of the letter 'A' upright. The peak of the xcorr will be higher than xcorr of a letter 'B' with 'A' right?

But it is possible for one pair to have a higher peak than another pair even if the latter is better aligned - it all depends on the images. In other words, the value at the peak is not directly comparable across image pairs (unless the image pairs all have quite similar spatial content).

So one question is that will I get a higher xcorr peak if the 2 images are matching compared to none matching ones?
