IMAGE ANALYSIS SYSTEMS USING NON-LINEAR DATA PROCESSING TECHNIQUES AND METHODS USING SAME

摘要

Described herein are image analysis systems that utilize a non-linear data processing algorithm for overlaying and comparing time sequence images. The image analysis systems can include at least one image collection device, an image processing device operating a non-linear data processing algorithm, and at least one data output device. The image processing device can be operable to overlay a test image and a reference image and perform a comparison therebetween. Linear parameters and non-linear parameters can be processed by the image processing device in performing the overlay. Methods for overlaying a test image upon a reference image by using a non-linear data processing algorithm are also described.
