An fast refined algorithm for image mosaic

Abstract:In order to improve accuracy and speed of image mosaic, an optimized algorithm of image mosaic based on corners is presented. Frequency phase correlation is used to estimate the overlapping area, in which improved Harris operator is used to extract corners. Then, rough and RANSAC accurate matching will be completed. Finally, image variance combined linear weight function is used to implemented image fusion and mosaic, and it presents quantitative analysis method about registration accuracy. Experimental results show that this algorithm exceeds existing ones at matching speed about 40 %, and has a desired visual effect. The MAD and RMSE of corresponding points is within 1 pixel precision. © 2013 Trans Tech Publications Ltd, Switzerland.
