Abstract

Apparatus and method for automatically combining the output of multiple image sequence acquisition devices, each capturing the images in a different medium, into a single image sequence for display or for further processing by a machine vision system. Specifically, the apparatus of the present invention provides for registration of images based on the moving portions of the images to be fused, as opposed to current systems where the point of correspondence is determined from static features on the images. The apparatus of the present invention may find application in areas such as medical diagnosis, CCTV surveillance systems, security alarm systems, fire fighting, automatic inspection, surveying, avionics and wildlife watching.
