This work presents a fast exhaustive robust matching technique for aligning translated images. The key idea is to express a robust matching surface function in terms of correlation operations. Speed is obtained from computing correlations in the frequency domain. Different sized images and arbitrary shapes may be matched. The method outputs a matching surface representing the quality of match at each translatory position. Experimental results of a comparison with the standard method of phase correlation are shown.
