On Generating Seamless Mosaics with Large Depth of Field
نویسندگان
چکیده
Imaging cameras have only finite depth of field and only those objects within that depth range are simultaneously in focus. The depth of field of a camera can be improved by mosaicing a sequence of images taken under different focal settings. In conventional mosaicing schemes, a focus measure is computed for every scene point across the image sequence and the point is selected from that image where the focus measure is highest. We have, however, proved in this paper that the focus measure is not the highest in the best focussed frame for a certain class of scene points. The incorrect selection of image frames for these points, causes visual artifacts to appear in the resulting mosaic. We have also proposed a method to isolate such scene points, and an algorithm to compose large depth of field mosaics without the undesirable artifacts.

متن کاملTheory and Practice in Making Seamless Stereo Mosaics from Airborne Video
In this paper we present a novel method for automatically and efficiently generating stereoscopic mosaics by registration of optical data collected by a video camera mounted on an airborne platform that mainly undergoes translating motion. The resultant mosaics are seamless and will exhibit correct three-dimensional (3D) views. The basic idea is to fast construct stereo mosaics before 3D recove...

In this paper we present a novel method for automatically and efficiently generating stereoscopic mosaics by seamless registration of optical data collected by a video camera mounted on an airborne platform that undergoes dominant translational motion. There are four critical points discussed in this paper: 1) Using a parallel-perspective representation, a pair of geometrically registered stere...
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...
