Abstract
This paper suggests a panorama image stitching system which consists of an image matching algorithm: modified SURF (Speeded Up Robust Feature) and an image blending algorithm: multi-band blending. In this paper, first, Modified SURF is described and SURF is compared with SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform), which also gives the reason why modified SURF is chosen instead of SIFT. Then, multi-band blending is described, Lastly, the structure of a panorama image stitching system is suggested and evaluated by experiments, which includes stitching quality test and time cost experiment. According to the experiments, the proposed system can make the stitching seam invisible and get a perfect panorama for large image data, In addition, it is faster than the sift based stitching system.
