Yes, they are generally like a z = f(x,y) surface, in that a surface doesn't
wrap around behind itself. With some datasets we have regular (x,y),
sometimes not.
As I understand it, cross correlation could find the best x-y translation
with regular (x,y), but we have rotation and translation in 3D to contend
with. My solution will need 6 parameters, can cross correlation help out
here?
Thanks for your interest!
