Several papers have been published to increase the accuracy and quality of displacement estimation based on ncc. For this reason normalized crosscorrelation has been computed where f is the image and the sum is over x, y under the in the spatial domain e. If you are performing a linear, timeinvariant filtering operation, you convolve the signal with the systems impulse response if you are measuring the similarity between two signals, then you crosscorrelate them. Quick techniques for template matching by normalized. Normalized crosscorrelation is an undefined operation in regions where a has zero variance over the full extent of the template. The normalized cross correlation technique is one of them. This is typically done at every step by subtracting the mean and dividing by the standard deviation.
