In this paper, we focus on the sub-pixel geometric registration of images with arbitrarily-shaped local intensity variations, particularly due to shadows. Intensity variations tend to degrade the performance of geometric registration, thereby degrading subsequent processing. To handle intensity variations, we propose a model with illumination correction that can handle arbitrarily-shaped regions of local intensity variations. The approach is set in an iterative coarse-to-fine framework with steps to estimate the geometric registration with illumination correction and steps to refine the arbitrarilyshaped local intensity regions. The results show that this model outperforms linear scalar model by a factor of 6.8 in sub-pixel registration accuracy.
