Weighted multiple bit-plane matching, a simple and efficient matching criterion for electronic digital image stabilizer application

In this paper we propose two new matching criteria for template matching. The performance evaluation of these two criteria is applied to an electronic digital image stabilizer (EDIS) application. These two criteria are based on bit-plane matching (BPM) criterion, where four decimated bit-planes are used in our criteria. These criteria can be realized using only Boolean functions; hence they can be realized very simply in any digital systems. We compared our criteria with other known criteria by employing real image sequences.
