Panoramic mosaicing with videobrush
1997
As the eld of view of a picture is much smaller than our own visual eld of view, it is common to paste together several pictures to create a panoramic mosaic having a larger eld of view. While scissors and glue are the tools used in lm photography, more sophisticated methods were enabled with digital video.
Panoramic mosaics by manifold projection
cvpr, 1997
As the field of view of a picture is much smaller than our own visual field of view, it is common to paste together several pictures to create a panoramic mosaic having a larger field of view. Images with a wider field of view can be generated by using fish-eye lens, or panoramic mosaics can be created by special devices which rotate around the camera's optical center (Quicktime VR, Surround Video), or by aligning, and pasting, frames in a video sequence to a single reference frame. Existing mosaicing methods have strong limitations on imaging conditions, and distortions are common.
Video mosaicing using manifold projection
1997
Video mosaicing is commonly used to increase the visual eld of view by pasting together many video frames. Existing mosaicing methods are e ective only in very limited cases where the image motion is almost a uniform translation or the camera performs a pure pan. Forward camera motion or camera zoom are very problematic for traditional mosaicing.

This paper presents a complete system for constructing panoramic image mosaics from sequences of images. Our mosaic representation associates a transformation matrix with each input image, rather than explicitly projecting all of the images onto a common surface (e.g., a cylinder). In particular, to construct a full view panorama, we introduce a rotational mosaic representation that associates a rotation matrix (and optionally a focal length) with each input image. A patch-based alignment algorithm is developed to quickly align two images given motion models. Techniques for estimating and refining camera focal lengths are also presented.
Creating full view panoramic image mosaics and environment maps
1997
This paper presents a novel approach to creating full view panoramic mosaics from image sequences. Unlike current panoramic stitching methods, which usually require pure horizontal camera panning, our system does not require any controlled motions or constraints on how the images are taken (as long as there is no strong motion parallax). For example, images taken from a hand-held digital camera can be stitched seamlessly into panoramic mosaics. Because we represent our image mosaics using a set of transforms, there are no singularity problems such as those existing at the top and bottom of cylindrical or spherical maps. Our algorithm is fast and robust because it directly recovers 3D rotations instead of general 8 parameter planar perspective transforms. Methods to recover camera focal length are also presented. We also present an algorithm for efficiently extracting environment maps from our image mosaics. By mapping the mosaic onto an artibrary texture-mapped polyhedron surrounding the origin, we can explore the virtual environment using standard 3D graphics viewers and hardware without requiring special-purpose players.

Mosaicing with Strips on Dynamic Manifolds
2001
Panoramic image mosaicing is commonly used to increase the visual eld of view by pasting together many images or video frames. Existing mosaicing methods are based on projecting all images onto a pre-determined single manifold: a plane is commonly used for a camera translating sideways, a cylinder is used for a panning camera, and a sphere is used for a camera which is both panning and tilting. While di erent mosaicing methods should therefore be used for di erent t ypes of camera motion, more general types of camera motion, such as forward motion, are practically impossible for traditional mosaicing.
Mosaicing is blending together of several arbitrarily shaped images to form one large radio metrically balanced image so that the boundaries between the original images are not seen. Any number of geocoded images can be blended together along user-specified cut lines. These techniques can be used to build environments and 3-D models for virtual reality application based on recreating a true scene, i.e., tele-reality applications. The fundamental technique used in this project is image mosaicing, i.e. the automatic alignment of multiple images into larger aggregates which are then used to represent portions of a 3-D scene.
Image Mosaicing and Producing a Panoramic Visibility
Aim of this research paper is to take multiple input images, the input images are having some of the overlapped region with one another. Since digital cameras can’t take photos of a wider view, for a wider view we need a highly sophisticated camera. It is therefore being attempted to develop enabling methodology which can convert the corresponding images captured form such cameras into a panoramic view. In this paper an algorithm is used and applied some of the advanced function available in matlab to make this work much more efficient.
