It is often desirable to eliminate differences in overall brightness
and/or measure of centrality from the images which typically arise
from lighting and/or exposure changes.
If you designate A as the template image,
min || A - a*B ||
or
min || A - (a*B + b) ||
where a and b are scalars representing brightness scale and centrality
****ft, respectively, that minimize the expressions and ||.||
designates some norm, (not necessarily the L2 norm) provides such
difference measures.
