1. A method of aligning frames between test and reference video sequences comprising the steps of: distilling each frame of the test and reference video sequences into frame distillation measurements; from the frame distillation measurements performing a linear alignment measurement using a linear Hough transform of a local Pearson's cross-correlation coefficient (LPCCC) image for spatial alignment of the frames between the test and reference video sequences to find a best fit line through the LPCCC image; and for each pixel of the LPCCC image along the best fit line searching vertically for a higher correlation coefficient when the pixel has a value less than a threshold to find a better frame match for temporal alignment of the frames between the test and reference video sequences.
