Computer-based methods and systems for automatically determining
convergence when registering image sets are provided. Example embodiments
provide an Enhanced Image Registration System (EIRS), which includes an
Image Comparison Module, a Transformation Optimizer, and a Convergence
Calculator. When the EIRS receives two image sets to align, the Image
Comparison Module compares two image sets to determine or measure how
closely the image sets are aligned. The Transformation Optimizer
determines an appropriate transformation to apply to one of the image
sets to align it with the reference image set. The Transformation
Optimizer then applies the determined transformation. The Convergence
Calculator examines one or more points within the transformed image set
to determine when convergence is attained.
