ABSTRACT:
An image matching system, program, and method are provided to match images with high precision. The system includes a low resolution transform unit for performing Hough transform on each of registered images and an input match image and generating transformed registered images and a transformed match image having a low resolution; a correlation value generation unit for performing correlation between each of the transformed registered images and the transformed match image; a match coverage determination unit for determining the registered images for match processing corresponding to the top predetermined number of transformed registered images having high correlation degrees based on results of the correlation processing; and a matching unit for performing match processing based on the transformed registered images and the transformed match image having a high resolution generated by performing Hough transform on each of the registered images for match processing and the match image.
