The vision industries have used normalized correlation to reliably locate patterns with high accuracy. Researchers were able to reduce the computational
complexity of normalized correlation by using data pyramids and thus making it find patterns in real-time, but only in spatially translated images.
Other attempts by vision industry researchers to speed up normalized correlation, such as skipping pixels, deteriorated the performance.
In addition, today’s vision industries need to handle nonlinear changes in brightness, process variations such as multilayer buildup in wafer
production, blurring, and perspective distortion. We have developed a simple multi-level matching algorithm that results independent to shift,
rotation, scale and also noise. Reference image is aligned with the input image with an associated matching score. The proposed algorithm results
extremely robust to global and local intensity variations.
Daniel Eaton's code has been used for a fast normalized cross-correlation.
