Image Registration

Align two images using intensity correlation, feature matching, or control point mapping

Together, Image Processing Toolbox™ and Computer Vision Toolbox™ offer four image registration solutions: interactive registration with the Registration Estimator app, intensity-based automatic image registration, control point registration, and automated feature matching. For help selecting which approach to use, see Choose Image Registration Technique.
