Abstract

Image stitching is the process of combining numerous photos to make a panorama. The technique of image stitching has rapidly advanced and grown to be a significant area of digital image processing. Many image stitching methods have been proposed and studied in prior study. In this paper, the image stitching process is implemented using different algorithms. For keypoints detection, the algorithms of Harris corner detection, SIFT(Scale-Invariant Feature Transform), SURF(Speeded Up Robust Feature) and ORB(Oriented FAST and Rotated BRIEF) algorithms are applied, then use different methods (i.e., Brute Force, etc.) for feature matching. The RANSAC(Random Sample Consensus) method is used to calculate a homography matrix from matched feature vectors and use it to warp the images. Image blending and cropping methods are proposed to enhance the image quality. Given groups of the self-captured images, experiments have been down to shown the performance of different techniques.
