Photomosaic Mapmaking of the Seafloor using SIFT and Differential Lighting
نویسنده
چکیده
This project will address the problem of creating mosaic maps of the seafloor using remotely-operated vehicles (ROV) or autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) operated by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI). The author believes that a number of shortcomings of the current system could be improved upon through the use of SIFT for image registration. Time permitting, the author would also like to investigate the use of differential lighting and shadow analysis to build up more detailed texture maps of the seafloor.

Evaluating the stability of SIFT keypoints across cameras
Object identification using Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) keypoints requires stable keypoint signatures that can be reliably reproduced across variations in lighting, viewing angle, as well as camera imaging characteristics. While reproducibility has been demonstrated under various lighting and viewing angles elsewhere, this work performs an empirical evaluation of the reproducibilit...
متن کاملA Photograph Browser Applying Photomosaic
Photomosaic arranges many small photographs to represent a large image. Our study applies the photomosaic to a photograph browser CAT. Our implementation displays photomosaic while zooming out, and individual photographs while zooming in. Here, many photograph browsing software displays a set of photographs in the order of their times. To maintain this order of photographs, our photomosaic gene...
متن کاملFast Photomosaic
Photomosaic is a technique which transforms an input image into a rectangular grid of thumbnail images preserving the overall appearance. The typical photomosaic algorithm searches from a large database of images one picture that approximates a block of pixels in the main image. Since the quality of the output depends on the size of the database, it turns out that the bottleneck in each photomo...

متن کاملEvaluating the Efficiency and Benchmarking of Regions in an Electricity Distribution Company Using a Public Lighting Asset Management Model
Public lighting networks are constructed and maintained to provide social security and traffic safety. Due to the expansion of cities, the development in public lighting is inevitable. In addition to new investment, the public lighting service and maintenance program imposes high costs on distribution companies. Since performance assessment methods focus on a combination of key performance indi...
