Scaling Invariant Fusion of Image Pieces In Panorama Making And Novel Image Blending Technique

Abstract

The panorama making using fusion of partial image pieces of desired view has been active areas of research in recent years. The image panoramas primarily aim to enhance field of view. Image fusion plays important role to create full view panoramic mosaics from sequences of smaller picture parts. Each smaller part is stitched together to get panorama. Image Stitching is used to construct an image with a large field of view than that could be obtained with a single photograph. It refers to transformation and fusion of multiple images into a new aggregate image without any visible seam or distortion in the overlapping areas. The important step in making panoramas is automatic estimation of the overlap. Overlap is the common region in consecutive picture parts. Overlap boundary indicates where one image ends and the other image begins. These images should be combined in such a way that the final image does not have any spurious artificial edges. The partial images may differ in their size and brightness. Panorama making fuses image parts together by transforming all of them to same row-size and then blends them together to minimize the brightness differences.
