Sorry it took so long for me to reply to your email.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure what the problem is here. You're correct in thinking that values shouldn't be outside of [-1, 1], but as your code demonstrates, there are apparently inputs that break the current implementation. I've played around with isolating a small test image, but I haven't had much luck.

A simple example with test images is attached.

Thanks for the fine work!

import numpy, sys
from skimage import data
from skimage import io
from skimage.feature import match_template

def containsLikelyhood(needleLoc, haystackLoc):
haystack = data.imread(haystackLoc, as_grey=True)
needle = data.imread(needleLoc, as_grey=True)
greyLoc  = match_template(haystack, needle)

ij = numpy.unravel_index(numpy.argmax(greyLoc), greyLoc.shape)
x, y = ij[::-1]

height, width = needle.shape
return greyLoc[y][x], (x, y, width, height)


if __name__ == "__main__":
print containsLikelyhood("locatedStar.PNG", "screenshot.PNG")
