How can I register a series of images stored in an array with imregister?

4 views (last 30 days)
I have a series of 1200 images stored in a 512 x 640 x 1200 array (Tir_telops_rot). I need to register these images before I can analyze them for my research. They were all taken from the same infrared camera but there was swaying movement of the platform during acquisition. I can successfully use imregister for two images, but I am having issues when apply it to a series in my code below. Using the code I've written, the resulting array (Tir_telops_reg) is a series of just the same image repeated 1200 times, instead of each of the newly registered images. Does anyone know how to rewrite the line that writes the Tir_telops_reg array so it correctly stores each image? Thanks for the help!
fixed = Tir_telops_rot(:,:,1); %reference image
[optimizer, metric] = imregconfig('monomodal');
for i=512
for j=640
for k=1:1200
moving = Tir_telops_rot(i,j,k); %This may be wrong, it needs to be written so each iteration (k) looks at the next image as the moving one
movingRegistered = imregister(moving, fixed, 'translation', optimizer, metric);
Tir_telops_reg(i,j,k)=movingRegistered(k); %I believe my issues are in this line
end
end
end

You need not loop through individual pixels for image registration. Since image registration is a global transform, you can directly pass the entire image to imregister.
fixed = Tir_telops_rot(:,:,1); %reference image
[optimizer, metric] = imregconfig('monomodal');
Tir_telops_reg= zeros(size(Tir_telops_rot));
for k=1:1200
moving = Tir_telops_rot(:,:,k);
Tir_telops_reg(:,:,k) = imregister(moving, fixed, 'translation', optimizer, metric);
end
