A Study on Assmbling of Sub Pictures using Approximate Junctions

It is important to develop a method of assembling a set of sub pictures automatically into a mosaic picture , because a view through fiberscopes or microscopes with higher magnifying power is much larger than the field of view taken by a camera. This paper presents a method of assembling sub pictures, where roughly estimated junctions called approximate junctions are employed for matching triangles formed by selected junctions in sub pictures. To over come the difficulties in processing speed and noise corruption, fuzzy rules is applied to get fuzzy values for existence of approximate junctions and fuzzy similarity for congruent triangle matching. Some demonstration, exemplified by assembling microscopic metal matrix photographs, are given to show feasibility of this method.
