We consider the task of aligning the imaging detectors of a bi-plane microscope for super-resolution applications [1]. Such a microscope consists of two separate focal planes and the optical misalignment is modelled as an affine transform. In particular, u1 = A u2 + b accounts for translation, rotation and scaling operations (see illustration for an example of misaligned data). Here, u1, u2 describe a single point in space in terms of the two coordinate systems, A is a 3×3 matrix, and b is a translation vector. There are 12 misalignment parameters that need to be found, i.e. the matrix A and the vector b.
