ABSTRACT

In this paper we propose two new matching criteria for template matching. The performance evaluation
of these two criteria is applied to electronic digital image stabilizer (EDIS) application. These two criteria
are based on bit-plane matching (BPM) criterion, where four decimated bit-planes are used in our criteria.
These criteria can be realized using only Boolean functions; hence they can be realized very simple in any
digital systems. We compared our criteria with other known criteria by employing twenty real video
sequences.

Keywords: Block matching, matching criterion, electronic digital image stabilization.
