Abstract
Image Registration is the basic step used for the target tracking in aerial videos. Image Registration is a process, which finds the location where optimal matching is obtained by matching a template image called the reference image over the searching region of an input image using a suitable similarity measures. The method although computationally intensive, is simple, straightforward and robust and requires no apriori information about the two images. A number of image registration algorithms are studied on images with varying size of search space and reference image. All these algorithms are based on similarity measure between the reference image and search space. The key issues in image registration are the time required for registration and the accuracy of registration viz., measure of how close is the match between sub image in the search space and the reference image.
