Novel seamless image mosaicing algorithm for virtual environment

Pages 219-229 | Received 09 Sep 2005, Published online: 21 May 2007
 

Abstract

The image mosaic method is an image-based rendering method which is based on the ability to align different views of a scene (overlapped) into a large image and then to blend the image together seamlessly. A smooth image mosaic algorithm for stitching multiple source images together to produce a single output image is proposed. It can effectively eliminate the impact of light and colour difference on the matching of two images, and reduce the possibility of mismatch, without involving intensive computing. It works well for almost all pictures with common characteristics. The algorithm can be easily and efficiently implemented.
