A method of registering a document comprises, with a processor (150), defining (block 505) a plurality of clusters in an image of a template document (300) by assigning each of a number of feature points of an image of a template document to a cluster with the closest mean, with the processor (150), refining (block 510) a correspondence set of the feature points between the image of the template document (300) and the image of the target document (400) using a histogram of Euclidian distances, and with the processor (150), eliminating (block 515) outliers within a correspondence set of the feature points between the image of the template document (300) and an image of a target document (400) by generating a hypothesis and evaluating the hypothesis a number of iterations, in which the image of the target document (400) is captured by an imaging device (110) from a physical document.
