This study introduces fundamental performance limits for image registration using the Cramer-Rao inequality. It analyzes bias in gradient-based estimators and explains multiscale methods, offering practical performance guidelines.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Vision
  • Image Processing
  • Statistical Signal Processing

Background:

  • Image registration is a crucial preprocessing step in numerous computer vision and image processing applications.
  • Existing research often compares registration technique performance using relative measures, lacking a definitive assessment of overall optimality.
  • The Cramer-Rao inequality provides a theoretical framework for establishing fundamental performance bounds.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To derive and present the fundamental performance limits for image registration based on the Cramer-Rao inequality.
  • To analyze the inherent trade-off between variance and bias in image registration.
  • To explain the bias in gradient-based estimators and its relation to multiscale methods.
