What you want is a technique like the SIFT algorithm to identify similar features in two images. I recommend the autopano-sift tools:
http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~nowozin/autopano-sift/ Also available is Autopano (which is a different program) http://autopano.kolor.com/ While you are looking at this, if you are interested in panoramas or even just trying to make a larger image out of two overlapping scans, you should also try Hugin http://hugin.sf.net/ These tools can be used together to streamline panorama generation and can be used to create fabulous (and massive) wide-angle images.
