Image Mosaicing Without Distortion Using Projected Mask for Image Digitization

When the size of an image such LIS Q picture OT a painting is beyond the scope of Q camera, it is dificult t o take the whole picture which is high resolution image all a t once. In this case, each part of the image is taken b y camera one by one. The par t of the image is an image patch. Using the image patches, the whole picture is reproduced. This method is called the image mosaicing method. However the method has deficits for the purpose of reproduction of the high resolution image as follows. 1. When them are regions that do not have features or intensity gradients, it is hard to reprodace the original image because they are used to register each part of the imoge. 2.The more the number of image patches is increased, the more the image distortion is Cumulated because ermrs on the borders between the image patches are added. To solve the problems, the layered imoge mosaicing method is pmposed. In this paper, the concept, implementation and an experiment are described. The experiment showed that the method was effective for image mosaicing.
