Abstract

This paper addresses the way to compose paronamic images from images taken the same objects. With the spread of digital camera, the panoramic image has been studied to generate with its interest. In this paper, we propose a panoramic image generation method using scaling and rotation invariant features. First, feature points are extracted from input images and matched with a RANSAC algorithm. Then, after the perspective model is estimated, the input image is registered with this model. Since the SURF feature extraction algorithm is adapted, the proposed method is robust against geometric distortions such as scaling and rotation. Also, the improvement of computational cost is achieved. In the experiment, the SURF feature in the proposed method is compared with features from Harris corner detector or the SIFT algorithm. The proposed method is tested by generating panoramic images using 640×480 images. Results show that it takes 0.4 second in average for computation and is more efficient than other schemes.
