We present a novel approach for measuring deformations between image patches. Our algorithm is a variant of dynamic programming that is not inherently one-dimensional, and its scores are on a relative scale. The method is based on the combination of similarities between many overlapping sub-patches. The algorithm is designed to be robust to small deformations of parts at various positions and scales.
