Claim Text:
1. An image registration method for registering at least two images captured by a plurality of cameras, the method comprising: receiving a target image and a reference image from the plurality of cameras; calculating, by a processor, a magnitude of a first feature vector according to a first feature point among a plurality of feature points extracted from a reference image; calculating, by the processor, a magnitude of a second feature vector according to a second feature point among a plurality of feature points extracted from a target image; calculating, by the processor, a difference between magnitude values of the first and second feature vectors; creating, by the processor, a first threshold value on the basis of the magnitude value of the first feature vector and a magnitude ratio; comparing, by the processor, a magnitude difference between the first and second feature vectors and a magnitude of the first threshold value; and constructing, by the processor, a single combined digital image from the target image and the reference image, wherein, when the magnitude difference between the first and second feature vectors is not determined to be greater than the first threshold value, similarity calculation is performed on the first and second feature points, and, when the magnitude difference between the first and second feature vectors is determined to be greater than the first threshold value, a magnitude of another feature point of the target image is compared with the magnitude of the first threshold value.
