    Abstract: Some embodiments of the present invention may relate to a device and a method of enabling an automatic global matching of a plurality of images to provide a substantially consistent planar representation of a fundus. According to some embodiments of the invention, a device for enabling an automatic global matching of a plurality of images to provide a substantially consistent planar representation of a fundus may include a local matching module and a global matching module. The local matching module may be adapted to locally match a pair of overlapping images. As part of locally matching the images, the local matching module may be adapted to provide a best offset vector for the images based upon a matching of features from overlapping portions of the images. The global matching module may be adapted to globally match at least a triplet of locally matching pairs of images whose best offset vector sum is substantially zero.
