β¦ Synopsis
A new method is proposed for robust image registration named Selective Correlation Coe cient in order to search images under ill-conditioned illumination or partial occlusion. A correlation mask-image is generated for selecting pixels of an image before matching. The mask-image can be derived from a binary-coded increment sign-image deΓΏned from any object-image and the template. The mask-rate of occluded regions is theoretically expected to be 0.5, while unoccluded regions have much lower rate than 0.5. Robustness for ill-conditioned environment can be realized since inconsistent brightness of occluded regions can be omitted from the mask operation. Furthermore, the mask enhancement procedure is proposed to get more stable robustness. The e ectiveness of masking increases by the procedure, resulting in the rate around 0.7 for masking of occluded regions. This paper includes a theoretical modeling and analysis of the proposed method and some experimental results with real images.

A novel and robust statistic as a similarity measure for robust image registration is proposed. The statistic is named as increment sign correlation because it is based on the average evaluation of incremental tendency of brightness in adjacent pixels. It is formalized to be a binary distribution or
