Hi everyone,

I've just stumbled across skimage as I'm going through to arduous process of trying to switch my workflow (PhD study of computer vision & machine learning) from matlab to python. The project looks great but I'm currently in need of a fast Normalised Cross Correlation function. As it is, I can't find any python implementation which is anywhere near the speed of Matlab's normxcorr2 (correct me if I'm wrong...) and it looks like a corresponding function to match the normxcorr2 behaviour is planned but not yet implemented for skimage. Is this correct? I'd be interested in looking into this and contributing some code to the project, but before I put a heap of time into it I just wanted to check that something didn't already exist in this or another numpy-based project.

Cheers,

Malcolm

Hi Malcolm,

I currently have a PR for a normalized cross-correlation function (which was originally implemented by Pieter Holtzhausen). Comments/suggestions would definitely be appreciated.
