Abstract
A method for aligning a plurality of first digital pictures. Each first digital picture includes a plurality of pixels wherein each pixel is associated with a pixel value. The method includes generating a second digital picture for each first digital picture. Generating the second digital picture for the first digital picture includes determining, for each of a plurality of pixels of the first digital picture, a number representing the pixel values of a plurality of pixels in a neighborhood of the pixel relatively to the pixel value of the pixel. The method further includes assigning the number as a pixel value to a pixel of the second digital image corresponding to the pixel of the first digital image. The method further includes generating aligning parameters based on the plurality of second digital pictures. The method further includes aligning the plurality of first digital pictures based on the aligning parameters.
