A fast pattern matching scheme termed Matching by Tone Mapping (MTM) is introduced which allows matching under non-linear tone mappings. We exploit the recently introduced Slice Transform to implement a fast computational scheme requiring computational time similar to the fast implementation of Normalized Cross Correlation (NCC). In fact, the MTM measure can be viewed as a generalization of the NCC for non-linear mappings and actually reduces to NCC when mappings are restricted to be linear. The MTM is shown to be invariant to non-linear tone mappings, and is empirically shown to be highly discriminative and robust to noise.
