Thanks for the responses. More specifically, my scenario is that I have many aerial image stereo-pairs, and need to register each pair together and crop them to their overlapping area. The output should produce two images with the same field-of-view; and the only difference will be the perspective. Still searching for a suitable module that can easily do this sort of thing. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
