The Feature based Image Stitching Techniques

Abstract

The photographic images taken from different sources are integrated into one to form a new panoramic image which has high resolution when compared to the original image. Usually, image stitching can be done using any computer software. Image stitching helps us in extracting the actual information from shredded data. The torned paper can be reconstructed by means of image stitching process which is applied in forensic department. Digital maps and satellite photos can be reconstructed through image stitching algorithms which is also known as Image mosics. In recent days, many researchers introduced various algorithms to address the issues in Image stitching technique. Feature based Image stitching technique plays a vital role in most of these algorithms. In feature-based technique, local descriptor is used to compare an image’s feature points with another image’s feature points to predict the feature points for the given pair of image. In this paper different image stitching techniques, comparisons between various features descriptor and the steps involved in Feature extraction in Image stitching method are discussed.
