Align_slices in stack utilized the template matching function cvMatch_Template to do slice registration(alignment) based on a selected landmark.
This function will try to find the landmark or the most similar image pattern in every slice and translate each slice so that the landmark pattern will be the same position throughout the whole stack. It could be used to fix the drift of a time-lapse image stacks.

Input data: image stack
output data: image stack

It implements the template matching function from the OpenCV library. The java interface of OpenCV was done through the javacv library. It is quite similar as the existing template matching plugin but runs much faster and users could choose among six matching methods: 

1.Squared difference

2.Normalized squared difference

3.Cross-correlation

4.Normalized cross-correlation

5.Correlation coefficient

6.Normalized correlation coefficient

The detailed algorithms could be found here.

The cvMatch_Template will search a specific object (image pattern) over an image of interest by the user-specified method. 

This ImageJ plugin contains two functions. The first one is the cvMatch_Template. It implements the template matching function from the OpenCV library. The second function Align_slices in stack utilized the previous matching function to do slice registration(alignment) based on a selected landmark.
