ABSTRACT:
A method and system for aligning in at least one of time and space temporally ordered sequences of images comprising receiving a plurality of sequences of images, each sequence including a multiplicity of images, each plurality of sequences defining a space-time volume, and providing an output indication relating at least one point in a space-time volume corresponding to one of the plurality of sequences to at least one point in a space-time volume corresponding to at least another one of the plurality of sequences.
