Image registration is the fundamental task used to match two or more partially overlapping images taken, for example, at different times, from different sensors, or from different viewpoints and stitch these images into one panoramic image comprising the whole scene. It is a fundamental image processing technique and is very useful in integrating information from different sensors, finding changes in images taken at different times, inferring three-dimensional information from stereo images, and recognizing model-based objects. Some techniques are proposed to find a geometrical transformation that relates the points of an image to their corresponding points of another image. To register two images, the coordinate transformation between a pair of images must be found. In this paper, we have proposed an algorithm that is based on Log-Polar Transform and first we roughly estimate the angle, scale and translation between two images. The proposed algorithm can recover scale value up to 5.85. The robustness of this algorithm is verified on different images with similarity transformation and in the presence of noise.
