Globally Optimal Image Mosaics
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we examine the simultaneous solution of a set of image transformations with the goal of creating a globally optimal image mosaic. We examine an alternative parameterization of the full projective matrix transformation that leads to elimination of independent skew and aspect ratio parameters for each image. We also create a scale-free distance error metric which prevents the tendency of simultaneously solved systems to tend toward the zero solution.

Mosaics of Scenes with Moving Objects
Image mosaics are useful for a variety of tasks in vision and computer graphics. A particularly convenient way to generate mosaics is by ‘stitching’ together many ordinary photographs. Existing algorithms focus on capturing static scenes. This paper presents a complete system for creating visually pleasing mosaics in the presence of moving objects. There are three primary contributions. The fir...
متن کاملGradient Domain Image Blending and Implementation on Mobile Devices
This paper presents an image blending approach which combines optimal seam finding and transition smoothing for merging a set of aligned source images into a composite panoramic image seamlessly. In this approach, graph cut optimization is used for finding optimal seams in overlapping areas of the source images to create a composite image. If the seams in the composite image are still visible, ...
متن کاملEstimating the Best Reference Homography for Planar Mosaics From Videos
This paper proposes a novel strategy to find the best reference homography in mosaics from video sequences. The reference homography globally minimizes the distortions induced on each image frame by the mosaic homography itself. This method is designed for planar mosaics on which a bad choice of the first reference image frame can lead to severe distortions after concatenating several successiv...
متن کاملFast Image Blending using Watersheds and Graph Cuts
This paper presents a novel approach for combining a set of registered images into a composite mosaic with no visible seams and minimal texture distortion. To promote execution speed in building large area mosaics, the mosaic space is divided into disjoint regions of image intersection based on a geometric criterion. Pair-wise image blending is performed independently in each region by means of...
متن کاملStereo Mosaics from a Moving Video Camera for Environmental Monitoring
Environmental monitoring using automated analysis of high-resolution aerial video is an application of growing importance with its own set of technical challenges. A mosaic is a commonly used tool for representing the enormous amount of data generated from aerial video sequences in an easily viewable form. In contrast to the usual applications of mosaics, the environmental monitoring domain req...
