MatchingMapMaker

The MatchingMapMaker (M³) is a MATLAB function used to detect shifts between two images using convolutions. The function will operate a weighted sum of absolute errors for each lag vector given as input.

The main code is written in C/C++, but the code is interfaced to MATLAB using mex.

The function mmm use 4 parameters:

1. an odd size kernel, which can be full of one to compute the Sum of absolute error, or a normalized version to have the mean
2. reference image
3. compared image
4. a matrix, where each line represents a potential lag vector.

and return for each pixel:

1. the lag with the lowest error
2. the lowest error

Usage in MATLAB:

[lagIndex,quality]=mmm(kernel,ref,shiftedImage,lagVector,'Algo');

Installation

0. test with mex -setup c++ that the mingw-w64 compiler is installed, in other cases install it from here
1. run compile
2. run test (to test if it works! )
