Image mosaics with wavelet domain seam-lines

Scene mosaics are a technique for building a panoramic view of a scene from a set of small views. When overlapped scene images are pasted, the mixed radiometry of the overlap areas may cause artifacts and blurred areas. The seam-line scene mosaics can avoid such artifacts and blurred areas. We propose a seamless scene mosaic scheme in the wavelet domain of the edge images, where the correspondence search and the seam-line search are performed. The homographic transformation obtained through wavelet domain correspondence research is applied for the original scene images for the geometric correction and the seam-line in the wavelet domain is reverse wavelet transformed to form a seam-line in the original spatial domain for the image pasting. This scheme can significantly improve the performance of the scene mosaics while achieving seamless scene mosaics of the scene.
