ABSTRACT:
Some embodiments of the present invention may relate to a device and a method of enabling the stabilization of a series of retinal angiography images to provide a coherent serial display, the method comprising: locally matching a pair of overlapping images, said locally matching includes at least providing a best offset vector for the images, wherein the best offset vector is provided based upon a matching of features from overlapping portions of the images; globally matching at least a triplet of matching pairs of images, wherein pairs of globally matching images include locally matching pairs whose best offset vector sum is substantially zero; choosing a key image; and aligning all the remaining images to the key image.
