A Real-time Stitching Algorithm for UAV Aerial Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
Real-time stitching is a research focus of UAV area. The speed and accuracy of stitching algorithm are both important for commanders to make right decisions in battlefield. In this paper, a real-time UAV aerial image stitching algorithm based on predicted region matching is proposed. A new matching strategy is applied to the feature matching step. The transformation matrix will be calculated by the matches between features in current image and features in a predicted region. Experimental results show that, comparing with traditional method, the new algorithm can reduce much stitching errors while keeping the process time almost the same.

متن کاملA New Approach to Fast Mosaic Uav Images
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been widely used to acquire high quality terrain images of the areas of interest, particularly when such a task could potentially risk human life or even impossible as the areas cannot be accessed easily by surveyors. Once the images have been obtained, traditional photogrammetric processing process can be used to establish a relative orientation model and t...
