Automatic Image Registration using (Normalized) Mutual Information for users of IP toolbox

Rigid (translation and rotation) automatic registration of images using normalized mutual informati

You are now following this Submission

Functions for aligning images by rotation and translation: image_registr_MI.m
MI2 - calculating Mutual information
joint_h - calculating Joint histogram

Mutual information is calculated using joint histogram calculation between two images.

For each angle of rotation all translation parameters are checked.

NOTE - the images must have correct relative sizes with respect to each other (no resizing is incorporated in this registration)

NOTE: image1 should be smaller that image2

Function allows to crop part of the image for registration to save computational time using IMCROP function.

For more help type:
help image_registr_MI.m

For users without IP toolbox download file im_reg_mi.zip without
% cropping option and with different rotation function
