摘要
针对航拍图像序列拼接问题,提出一种基于尺度不变特征变换(SIFT)特征的自动拼接方法,该方法主要包括图像配准和镶嵌两个步骤。由于航拍序列各帧图像之间存在较大差异,因而常用的基于特征的配准方法适用性较差,对此,提出利用SIFT特征来实现准确、稳健的航拍图像配准。进一步的,提出一种基于视觉特征的色彩融合方法以取得平滑的镶嵌效果。最后,通过对真实航拍序列进行拼接实验验证了所提方法的有效性。
A new approach for automatic stitching of aerial image sequence was proposed, based on the SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) features. It consisted of two core steps: image registration and mosaic. The variations between two consecutive frames in aerial sequence are always very notable, thus the present commonly-used feature-based methods are not very suitable for their registration. Concerning this, an iterative registration method using the SIFT features was put forward. Moreover, for image mosaic, a new color fusion method was proposed to achieve smooth stitching results based on human visual features. Finally, experiments on real aerial sequences prove the effectiveness of the proposed stitching approach.
