How to achieve image straightening as cam scanner does?
Geometric Transformation
Supose that $f$ is an image, defined over $(w,z)$ coordinate system, undergoes geometric distortion to produce an image $g$, defined over $(x,y)$ coordinate system. To ...

Are there any template matching / optical flow algorithms for large image displacement?
I personally like this one. It is nicely designed for occlusions and large displacements.
But, recent trends in deep learning lead to better results in optical flow such as this and this.

Is there a difference between Image Alignment and Stereo Rectification for stereo correspondence or matching?
There two ways to look at this problem.
In simple terms, image rectification warps both images onto a common coordinate frame by typically estimating the transformation using the epipolar geometry.

Camera calibration vs. registration
There is no matrix that maps a pixel in camera 1 to the corresponding pixel in camera 2. This is because the location of the corresponding pixel depends on the 3-D location of the corresponding point ...

Estimates sub-pixel shift directly in phase region
I am unable to comment on your Matlab code, but eq. (14) seems straightforward to me. You have a phase difference field $\theta$ which depends on the two spatial wavenumber components $k_1$ and $k_2$,...

What does "invariant to bias and gain changes" mean?
You need to be careful when reproducing formulas! Your $i_r$, $i_w$ are actually $\bar{i_r}$, $\bar{i_w}$ in the paper and two sentences above $(4)$, it says these are

How can we combine 2D image with 3D image for the same sense?
