A New Method of Shredded Paper Image Stitching and Restoration

Abstract

For the image restoration problem of shredded paper broken by shredder with the same marginal feature, a new method based on spatial feature classification is proposed in this paper. Because no obvious marginal feature for rule shredder paper can be used to split, the feature similarity classification processing can greatly reduce the solution scale and improve the algorithm efficiency. The horizontal projection position of shredded paper image can be used to distinguish the same line for the shredded paper with words. Then the marginal moment invariants distance are defined by the left and right part spatial correlation information. The original order of adjacent shredded paper in the same line can be ensured by the minimum marginal distance. Similarly ordering up and down can be completed by the minimum marginal distance among up-down part stitching images. For the image stitching and restoration of large-scale rule shredded paper, the actual experimental result shows the good stability, efficiency and strong robustness.
