ABSTRACT

The paper proposes a new image mosaic algorithm based on relative orientation. In view of image registration errors in existing image mosaic algorithms, the relative orientation method is introduced. The parameters of relative orientation are obtained by parsing stereo image pairs, and the transformation model of ideal image pairs are generated. The paper uses mean parallax method to register the ideal image pairs in one-dimensional way, and finally realizes the image mosaic algorithm based on ideal image pairs model. Experiment results show that the method can effectively reduce the image registration errors and the calculation of image registration, and also reduce the difficulty of image mosaic of threedimensional objects on two-dimensional plane. Therefore, this method is an efficient image mosaic algorithm.
