  • Publication number: 20180293467
    Abstract: A method for identifying corresponding image regions in a sequence of images (1; 21) is provided, wherein one or more features (P2a, P2b) from a second image are assigned to each feature (P1a, P2a) from a first image using correspondence graphs.

The concrete selection of a unique correspondence for each feature which is then used for the further calculations is performed on the basis of these costs.
