The Inverse Compositional Alignment Algorithm
I have
implemented in this plug-in is taken from
Simon Baker and Iain Matthews,Lucas-Kanade 20 Years On: A Unifying Framework: Part 1,tech. report CMU-RI-TR-02-16, Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, July, 2002
to be found at https://www.ri.cmu.edu/pub_files/pub3/baker_simon_2002_3/baker_simon_2002_3.pdf.
I also learned much from Oleg Krivtsov's implementation of Image
Alignment Algorithms at The Code Project
. I often consulted
his code to double check my understanding of the algorithm.
The LU-decomposition algorithm for inverting matrices and solving linear equations is taken from
Numerical Recipes in FORTRAN 77, The Art of Scientific Computing, Second Edition, by William H. Press, Saul A. Teukolsky, William T. Vetterling, and Brian P. Flannery.
