I want to know as to which tool/software is the best for Image Matching(.tiff format)
 

Hi ppl. I want a tool that matches two images or some part of the two images that are in .tiff format. Please help me out with this :(
I should be able to atleast process the image and store the pixel values for that image. Then, I shall implement the required algorithm that matches the two images.
But first, I need the software and its source code....

Thanking you, awaiting your replies,

This and other pages about ImageMagick may interest you. There are interfaces for a variety of languages to incorporate ImageMagick in your program.

You would probably want to preprocess images, such as resizing them to the same size or normalizing some aspects before performing comparisons. The second link has an example on analyzing a picture to guess if it is a picture or a cartoon drawing. It will also compare two images and supply statistics.

I'm not saying this is best. There are sure to be libraries which handle TIFF files. Also, I'm not sure if you are looking at image recognition or just matching similar images based on similar statistics. For the former, searching the web will probably reveal a number of research papers on the subject.
