CLIP has shown impressive results in aligning images and texts at scale. However, its ability to capture detailed visual features remains limited because CLIP matches images and texts at a global level. To address this issue, we propose…

In this work we consider the {\em image matching} problem for two grayscale $n \times n$ images, $M_1$ and $M_2$ (where pixel values range from 0 to 1). Our goal is to find an affine transformation $T$ that maps pixels from $M_1$ to pixels…
