Intensity based registration module

[alfonsosanchezbeato]

These classes implement a module for OpenCV for parametric image registration. The implemented method is direct alignment, that is, it uses directly the pixel values for calculating the registration between a pair of images, as opposed to feature-based registration. The implementation follows essentially the corresponding part of the paper "Image Alignment and Stitching: A Tutorial", from Richard Szeliski.

More information can be found in the module's documentation.

@LeonidBeynenson Leonid, could you please review?

[kirill-korniakov]

It was a right decision to create a new module, since it fully compiles to the new "micromodule architecture".

It seems to me that we should put such a giant contribution to an extra module. Even if the module is perfect today, we should be sure that it will be supported in future. But the OpenCV team can't promise that, so we will probably create a separate folder/repo for extra modules. That will mean that they are semi-official, and they become the official ones if only they are stable and popular enough...

Let us discuss this topic, and get back to you. @alfonsosanchezbeato, right now you can continue to develop your module as you want.

No problem, just let me know your decision when you take it.

Any news on this?

[kirill-korniakov]

Sorry, but no. Let's count months, not weeks. We don't have resources to setup a separate repository for testing of external modules, while we want to keep there large contributions like this one. We appreciate you help, but OpenCV has just a couple of fulltime devs, and they are not interested in image registration. So, let's wait when somebody else is available...

[kirill-korniakov]

@alfonsosanchezbeato, sorry for the late reply. We now have the repository for extra modules, so please propose your pull request for it: https://github.com/Itseez/opencv_contrib. Please note that you will be probably the first one, but actually most of the GSoC development will go there soon. And only when it matures, we'll add popular modules to the central repository.

[alfonsosanchezbeato]

Thanks Kirill, I will do the pull when I have a bit of time.

@alfonsosanchezbeato when working on your pull request, please check my comments here. It will possibly speedup the contribution process because I do not want to make you wait anymore... BTW, when you open your pull request to the opencv_contrib, please close this PR.

[mdim]

@alfonsosanchezbeato any progress?

[alfonsosanchezbeato]

I have made a pull request to opencv_contrib:

opencv/opencv_contrib#5

[kirill-korniakov]

Great, thanks! Then I'll close this one.
