Correlation window size is given by kernel_col, kernel_row, kernel_width, kernel_height, postion of the correlation window on data is given by col, row.

If anything fails (data too close to boundary, etc.), function returns -1.0 (none correlation)..

Performs one iteration of cross-correlation.

Cross-correlation matches two different images of the same object under changes.

It does not use any special features for matching. It simply searches for all points (with their neighbourhood) of data_field1 within data_field2. Parameters search_width and search_height determine maimum area where to search for points. The area is cenetered in the data_field2 at former position of points at data_field1.

A cross-correlation iterator can be created with gwy_data_field_crosscorrelate_init(). When iteration ends, either by finishing or being aborted, gwy_data_field_crosscorrelate_finalize() must be called to release allocated resources.

Computes correlation score for all positions in a data field.

Correlation score is compute for all points in data field data_field and full size of correlation kernel kernel_field.

The points in score correspond to centers of kernel. More precisely, the point ((kxres-1)/2, (kyres-1)/2) in score corresponds to kernel field top left corner coincident with data field top left corner. Points outside the area where the kernel field fits into the data field completely are set to -1 for GWY_CORRELATION_NORMAL.

score :

Data field to store correlation scores to.

method :
