Abstract

Techniques for registering images based on an identified region of interest (ROI) are described. In general, the disclosed techniques identify a region of ROI within an image and assign areas within the image corresponding to those regions more importance during the registration process. More particularly, the disclosed techniques may employ user-input or image content information to identify the ROI. Once identified, features within the ROI may be given more weight or significance during registration operations than other areas of the image having high-feature content but which are not as important to the individual capturing the image.
