Sensor-Assisted Video Mosaicing for Seafloor Mapping
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses a proposed processing technique for combining video imagery with auxiliary sensor information. The latter greatly simplifies image processing by reducing complexity of the transformation model. The mosaics produced by this technique are adequate for many applications, in particular habitat mapping. The algorithm is demonstrated through simulations and hardware configuration is described.

Mosaicing of Confocal Microscopic In Vivo Soft Tissue Video Sequences
Fibered confocal microscopy allows in vivo and in situ imaging with cellular resolution. The potentiality of this imaging modality is extended in this work by using video mosaicing techniques. Two novelties are introduced. A robust estimator based on statistics for Riemannian manifolds is developed to find a globally consistent mapping of the input frames to a common coordinate system. A mosaic...

متن کاملGeometry-assisted statistical modeling for face mosaicing
The modeling of facial appearance has many applications. This paper proposes an approach to generating a statistical face model based on video mosaicing. Unlike traditional video mosaicing, we use the geometry of a face to improve the mosaicing result. Given a face sequence, each frame is unwrapped onto certain portion of the surface of a sphere, as determined by spherical projection and the mi...
متن کاملMosaicing Video Sequences
With the advent of cheap, but relatively low-resolution, video sensors, the importance of automatically mosaicing many small video images to one large image has increased. This is due mainly to the many useful applications that may be based on such technology, such as hand-held mobile scanning, multi-resolution imaging, panoramic spreads and video compression. The process of creating a mosaiced...
