JavaSIFT
This example shows two consecutive TEM sections of the Drosophila first instar larval brain dataset by Albert Cardona aligned with the JavaSIFT ImageJ plugin.
A lightweight SIFT-implementation for Java after the paper of David Lowe (2004). The ImageJ plugin can be used for aligning image stacks.
Note, that the SIFT-algorithm is protected by U.S. Patent 6,711,293:
Method and apparatus for identifying scale invariant features in an image and
use of same for locating an object in an image
by the University of British
Columbia. That is, for commercial applications the permission of the author is
required. Anything else is published under the terms of the

From June 2008, JavaSIFT is part of the mpicbg package in Fiji. Download Fiji or the mpicbg package independently from its git repository for latest updates and bug fixes.
Here, you can still download the slightly outdated version from the previous website. For that, the following packages are required in ImageJ's plugins folder:
