Template matching code using cross co relation technique

    image1=rgb2gray(image1);

    image2=rgb2gray(image2);

    Target=image1;
    Template=image2;
else
    Target=image2;
    Template=image1;
end

[r1,c1]=size(Target);
[r2,c2]=size(Template);

% mean 
image22=Template-mean(mean(Template));

        corr=sum(sum(Nimage.*image22));
        corrMat(i,j)=corr;
