Image stitching allows users to combine multiple regularsized photographs into a single wide-angle picture, often referred to as a panoramic picture. During stitching users often discover that the produced panorama contains artifacts or is incomplete. Fixing these flaws requires retaking individual images, which is often difficult by this time. In this demo, we present Panoramic Viewfinder, an ...

Examining and interpreting of a large number of wireless endoscopic images from the gastrointestinal tract is a tiresome task for physicians. A practical solution is to automatically construct a two dimensional representation of the gastrointestinal tract for easy inspection. However, little has been done on wireless endoscopic image stitching, let alone systematic investigation. The proposed n...

Image stitching is used to combine several images into one wide-angled mosaic image. Traditionally mosaic images have been constructed from a few separate photographs, but nowadays that video recording has become commonplace even on mobile phones, it is possible to consider also video sequences as a source for mosaic images. However, most stitching methods require vast amounts of computational ...

Photo or video mosaicing have drawn a lot of interests in the research field in the past years. Most of the existing work, however, focuses on how to match the images or video frames. This paper presents techniques to handle some practical issues when generating panorama photos. We have found from the experiments that a simple translational motion model gives more robust results than affine mod...

The automatic construction of large, high-resolution image vistas (mosaics) is an active area of research in the fields of photogrammetry [1,2], computer vision [1,4], medical image processing [4], computer graphics [3] and biometrics [8]. Image stitching is one of the possible options to get image mosaics. Vista Creation in image processing is used to construct an image with a large field of v...

Light field camera captures an array of images by microlens near the detector while traditional camera just takes one 2D picture of a 3D scene via one single lens. Though the resolution is not as good as traditional camera, light field device still brings a lot of advantages in many ways [1,2]. For example, depth detection, post-focus, 4D feature detection or even animated thumbnail 3D camera s...

The construction of a high-resolution panoramic image from a sequence of input overlapping images of the same scene is called image stitching/mosaicing. It is considered as an important, challenging topic in computer vision, multimedia, and computer graphics. The quality of the mosaic image and the time cost are the two primary parameters for measuring the stitching performance. Therefore, the ...

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES Radiology reports are the major, and often only, means of communication between radiologists and their referring clinicians. The purposes of this study are to identify referring physicians' preferences about radiology reports and to quantify their perceived value of multimedia reports (with embedded images) compared with narrative text reports. MATERIALS AND METHODS W...

Illumination condition is one of the most important factors in imaging. Due to the relatively complex interaction occurring when an incident light is irradiated on the surface of an object, it has been a topic of researches and studies for quite a while now. In this study, its influence on the reconstruction of spectral reflectance and image stitching was explored. A traditional Japanese painti...
