Yup, that all sounds reasonable to me... I guess the key bit that's
still unspecified is how you calculate the transformation from the
patches. I don't know of any pre-existing routines for this, but it
wouldn't surprise me if they existed. We actually had a discussion
related to this back here:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.idl-pvwave/browse_t hread/thread/2118f477823ce219
...but it sounds like you're already far enough into the literature
that you know more about this than we do. ;-)
