Real-time stitching is a research focus of UAV area. The speed and accuracy of stitching algorithm are both important for commanders to make right decisions in battlefield. In this paper, a real-time UAV aerial image stitching algorithm based on predicted region matching is proposed. A new matching strategy is applied to the feature matching step. The transformation matrix will be calculated by...

Fisheye cameras are finding an increasing number of applications in automobile imaging systems due to their ultra-wide-angle properties and cost-effectiveness. One such application renders a display of the 360° scene around the vehicle, which is achieved by stitching together multiple images that are captured by an array of fisheye cameras. This provides a complete panoramic view of the vehicle...

Color inconsistency often exists between the images to be stitched and will reduce the visual quality of the stitching results. Color transfer plays an important role in image stitching. This kind of technique can produce corrected images which are color consistent. This paper presents a color transfer approach via histogram specification and global mapping. The proposed algorithm can make imag...

This paper describes work relating to the laser-based inspection of shoe uppers loaded into a pallet prior to the sewing operation. Shape modelling from scanned edge data is divided into two steps: significant point detection and curve fitting. Methods for identifying significant points such as knots and corner points are discussed, with examples given for a range of typical shoe component shap...

This paper presents a novel approach to automatic classifying and identifying of tree leaves using image segmentation fusion. With the development of mobile devices and remote access, automatic plant identification in images taken in natural scenes has received much attention. Image segmentation plays a key role in most plant identification methods, especially in complex background images. Wher...
