A system for selecting motion models for aligning scene content captured by different image sensors, is configurable to (i) access a first image captured by a first image sensor and a second image captured by a second image sensor; (ii) access a set of motion models; (iii) define a reference patch within the second image; (iv) generate a respective match patch for each motion model of the set of motion models; (v) determine a similarity between each respective match patch and the reference patch within the second image; (vi) select a final motion model from the set of motion models based upon the similarity between each respective match patch and the reference patch within the second image; and (vii) utilize the final motion model to generate an output image for display to a user.
