Rotation, Scale, Translation-Invariant Template Matching

Ciratefi and Forapro demonstration programs


Note: Ciratefi is not invariant to affine or perspective transformation.

cirateg.zip The original grayscale Ciratefi (2007).
Forapro, a newer and faster RST-invariant template matching (2009).
ciratefi105.zip Improved color and grayscale Ciratefi in pyramid scale (revised 2014). Almost all parameters are set automatically. Outputs a text file with matchings. Read the manual.

Note: If the program does not run, you must install the following VC-2005 redistributables:

ciratefi106.zip Ciratefi with parallel processing using OpenMP (revised 2016). Read the manual.
