Abstract :
Selecting the fewest contributive image frames for mosaicing video frames into a panoramic photography is effectively to reduce video redundancy and improve blending efficiency. It comes down to a set covering problem after all video frames being registered. The minimal set of frames covering the entire mosaic is reserved to compose the final panorama. Then the mosaic plane is divided into several disjoint regions of image intersection. Gradient-domain blending is performed independently in each region. The experimental results of the proposed blending scheme demonstrate an acceptable speed as well as a satisfactory panoramic mosaic.
