<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a robust image alignment technique that can be used for biometric image analysis and reduces the effects of background noise, non-uniform illumination, and other imaging artifacts. <P>SOLUTION: Provided is a method for analyzing image slices. The method includes transforming a first slice and a second slice to frequency domain and determining shift data between the first slice and the second slice, from only the phase component of the transformed first and second slices. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
