Automatic Seamless of Image Stitching

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to implement image stitching by adopting feature-based alignment algorithm and blending algorithm to produce a high quality image, the images for stitching to create panorama are captured in a fixed linear spatial interval. The processing method involves feature extraction, image matching based on Harris corner detectors method as the feature detection and neighboring pairs alignment using RANSAC (RANdom Sample Consensus) algorithm. Linear blending is applied to remove the transition between the aligned images. The presented image stitching algorithm is successfully able to create panorama image.
