Image Mosaics

چکیده
We describe a process for creating an image mosaic—a collection of small images arranged in such a way that when they are seen together from a distance they suggest a larger image. To visually suggest the larger form, the small images are arranged to match a large picture as much as possible, and then their colors are adjusted to better suggest the overall form. Arrangement of the small images may be either manual or automatic. Adjustment of the colors in the small image to further suggest the larger picture is fully automatic and employs a new color correction scheme that generalizes traditional halftoning.

Validation on Internet Satellite Image Mosaics and E-maps
As everyone can browse high-resolution satellite image and e-map products on the Internet freely, such as the GoogleTM Maps (image mosaics and e-maps) since 2005, some significant mapping defects, such as misalignment of image tiles and imperfect registration of images and e-maps, have been identified. This paper is aimed at study of geometric characteristics of the web image mosaics that have ...
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...
متن کاملEstimating the Best Reference Homography for Planar Mosaics From Videos
This paper proposes a novel strategy to find the best reference homography in mosaics from video sequences. The reference homography globally minimizes the distortions induced on each image frame by the mosaic homography itself. This method is designed for planar mosaics on which a bad choice of the first reference image frame can lead to severe distortions after concatenating several successiv...
متن کاملBuilding image mosaics: an application of content-based image retrieval
An image mosaic is an image made up of many other images. In this paper we investigate the automatic generation of such image mosaics, using content-based image retrieval as the underlying framework. Our first contribution is to describe and evaluate a few parameters that control the quality of the mosaic image. Our second contribution is the proposal of an (automatic) measure to assess the qua...
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...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Image Quality Index in mosaics
The focus of this study is the evaluation of the Image Quality Index (IQI) in mosaics generated from aerial images collected by a Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA). The software packages used to generate the mosaics were PhotoModeler, PhotoScan and Pix4Dmapper. The mosaic generated by the software PhotoScan was superior to the others visually, but inferior to the software PhotoModeler in relation...
