	This page displays the results of Colorizing the Prokudin-Gorskii photo collection. This is project 1 in 15-463. The code written in Matlab can use either Normalized Cross Correlation (NCC) or Sum Squared Difference (SSD) in aligning images. In addition, the code can cut off borders of images to disregard noise and uses a inside image crop to compare only relavent portions of the image. The code can also use the pyramid to handle large images. The pyramid scheme procides for fast alignment but will be slow if memory is low (no real way to avoid this problem for large images). The following examples are results of aligning an combining the photos together. The code as turned in uses the pyramid scheme with NCC, cutting off 1/12 of the borders on each side, and uses inside image cropping. These settings can be changed by modifying global variables in the code. To get a good image the user may need to tweek one or two settings due to noise.

These are the smaller images created from jpg files
Combined Image	Original images

These are the larger images created from the tif files. They have been compressed to 1/4 their original size and converted to jpg to be displayed

This last image is an image of Carlos Beltran Bobble Head. The picture was taken from 3 seperate pictures of R G and B. Again this picture was shrinked to 1/4 the orignal size to fit on this screen. The original uncombined image is here. The combined full image is here. The combined image with half size is here.
