Hello Rahul: Indeed, the GSoC I suggested can be roughly described as implementing a poor man's version of the scheme Craig describes in http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2004SoPh..219....3D Replace circles/ellipses by parallelograms/rectangles, and notice that "padding" the singular values of the Jacobian to 1 is more or less equivalent to exact area box filtering with sides no less than the input image's inter-pixel distance, and one gets more or less the same thing. This being said, what I have in mind in way simpler than what Craig implemented. But if you understand Craig's paper, you probably understand what I want to do.
