Image stitching techniques produce an image with wide field-of-view by aligning multiple images with narrow field-of-view. While conventional algorithms successfully stitch images with small parallax, structure misalignment may occur when input images contain large parallax. This paper presents an image stitching algorithm which aligns images with large parallax by regional linear warping. To t...

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been widely used to acquire high quality terrain images of the areas of interest, particularly when such a task could potentially risk human life or even impossible as the areas cannot be accessed easily by surveyors. Once the images have been obtained, traditional photogrammetric processing process can be used to establish a relative orientation model and t...

In 2004, David G. Lowe published his paper “Distinctive Image Features from ScaleInvariant Keypoints” (Lowe, 2004, [2]), outlining a method he developed for finding distinctive, scale and rotation invariant features in images that can be used to perform matching between different views of an object or scene. His method, Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) combines scale-space theory and fe...

Image stitching allows users to combine multiple regular-sized photographs into a single wide-angle picture, often referred to as a panoramic picture. To create such a panoramic picture, users traditionally first take all the photographs, then upload them to a PC and stitch. During stitching, however, users often discover that the produced panorama contains artifacts or is incomplete. Fixing th...

Panoramic image stitching used to create virtual environments for many applications is crucial for IBR. In this paper, we introduce a four-step algorithm based on SIFT features which makes some improvements on large exposure difference, large scene motion or other misregistrations when stitching panoramic images. We introduce a new method that is to add the adjacent images according to a weight...

The merging or stitching of separately captured portions (tiles) of an object into a single unified digital image is becoming increasingly popular in the cultural heritage community. Maps, negatives, tapestries, and paintings that were once too onerous to digitize faithfully because of their physical size are now included in digital collections. These can be digitally sewn together from compone...

We present an algorithm for fast automatic registration of spatially overlapping radiographs. It possesses strong robustness against noise, feature masking and feature displacement. Pivotal for this algorithm is an actual interpretation of the stitching feature instead of a simple detection. The proposed method has been evaluated on 3000 clinical radiographs and proved to be a powerful enhancem...

At present, in order to get a large field of view image, image mosaic technique has been widely applied in UAV remote sensing platform. The traditional mosaic system for UAV remote sensing image takes a lot of time and man power, it is difficult to complete the image stitching automatically. In the paper, an approach for geometric correction of remote sensing image without any ground control po...

Gradient Blending method is used to crosscorrelate the different images by varying the intensity. Content-aware image resizing technique allows to obtain the visual content of the images by enriching the salient information in different aspect of ratio. Seam carving is a simple image operator that can change the size of an image either by carving out or by inserting pixel in different part of t...
