1. A method of processing an image for pattern recognition and three-dimensional scene resolution, comprising: receiving a first digitized image; creating a first discrete projective Fourier transform (DPFT) image in log-polar coordinates of the first digitized image using a fast Fourier transform (FFT); storing the first DPFT image in a memory; projectively transforming the log-polar coordinates of the DPFT image; and computing an inverse DPFT image of the projectively transformed log-polar coordinates of the DPFT image using a non-uniform FFT to produce a projective transformation of the first digitized image.
