Image alignment procedures

[anthony]

You are looking for 'Image Registration' which is the process of finding points and automatically matching them up from one image to another. This is currently not posible in IM. On the other hand until recently IM did not have a good distortion method to match up images taken from different angles or views points, so there was no point to image registration in it.

This is an area I myself want to study, and infact was planing to use photos of stars as exactly the medium to start with, But until I finish with the developem to the distort I would not even look at 'Image registration.

Give it a year or two and a different story may be given for ImageMagick, just not now. Not unless you like to do some development work with IM yourself
You are welcome to hack the code and submitt patches you know.
