Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel shape-optimizing mesh warping method for stereoscopic panorama stitching, which aims to resolve shape distortion and unnatural rotation of traditional stitching methods, simultaneously coping with the challenges, misalignment, and stereoscopic inconsistency. Specifically, based on the grid mesh analysis of projective warping, we propose a differential warping method by gradually changing the inclination angle of each mesh line in non-overlapping regions of the image to reduce shape distortion and unnatural rotation. Furthermore, an extended moving direct linear transformation method is proposed to effectively and robustly improve alignment accuracy and maintain stereoscopic consistency in multiple stereoscopic images. Finally, a consistent seam based on the matched feature points in the left- and right- view images of a stereoscopic image is designed to blend images and generate a stereoscopic panorama image. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed method has a superior performance compared to previous methods.
