Abstract
A method of estimating the movement between two images (I1, I2) comprising the steps of determining an initialization displacement vector between the two images by projecting, in the image plane of the image capture device, the displacement between the two images calculated depending on collected information defining the movement of the image capture device between the two images and depending on the value of image capture parameter(s) used, chosen from an angular opening, a zoom factor and the resolution of the images implementing, based on the initialization displacement vector, an iterative algorithm delivering a displacement vector depending on an error function to be minimized between one of the two images and the transform of the other image by the displacement vector.
