Thanks for the responses.  More specifically, my scenario is that I have many aerial image stereo-pairs, and need to register each pair together and crop them to their overlapping area.  The output should produce two images with the same field-of-view; and the only difference will be the perspective.  Still searching for a suitable module that can easily do this sort of thing.
