By the advent of the high resolution satellite imagery, a ground-coverage included by a single satellite image is decreased. By the reason, there are increasing needs in image mosaicking technology to use images to various GIS fields. This paper describes an edge-based seamline extraction algorithm using edge information such as rivers, roads, buildings for image mosaicking. For this, we developed a method to track and link discontinuous edges extracted by edge detection operator. To estimate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, we applied the algorithm to IKONOS, KOMPSAT-1 and SPOT-5 satellite images. The experimental results showed that the algorithm successfully dealts with discontinuities caused by geometric differences in two images.

By the advent of the high-resolution Satellite imagery, there are increasing needs in image mosaicking technology which can be applied to various application fields such as GIS(Geographic Information system). To mosaic images, various methods such as image matching and histogram modification are needed. In this study, automated image mosaicking is performed using image matching method based on the multi-resolution wavelet analysis(MWA). Specifically, both area based and feature based matching method are embedded in the multi-resolution wavelet analysis to construct seam line.; seam points are extracted then polygon clipping method are applied to define overlapped area of two adjoining images. Before mosaicking, radiometric correction is proceeded by using histogram matching method. As a result, mosaicking area is automatically extracted by using polygon clipping method. Also, seamless image is acquired using multi-resolution wavelet analysis.

Image mosaicking, which combines several images into one image, is effective for analyzing images and important in various fields of spatial information such as a continuous image map. The crucial processes of the image mosaicking are optimal seamline determination and color correction of mosaicked images. In this study, the overlap regions were determined by SURF (Speeded Up Robust Features) for image matching. Based on the characteristics of the edges extracted by Canny filter, seamline candidates were selected from classified edges with their characteristics, and the edges were connected by using Dijkstra algorithm. In particular, anisotropic filter and image pyramid were applied to extract reliable seamlines. In addition, it was possible to determine seamlines effectively and efficiently by utilizing building and road layers from digital maps. Finally, histogram matching and seamline feathering were performed to improve visual quality of the mosaicked images.

For constructing 3D information using aerial photograph or video sequences, left and right stereo images having different viewing angle should be prepared in overlapping area. In video sequences, left and right stereo images would be generated by mosaicing left and right slice images extracted in consecutive video sequences. Therefore, this paper is focused on generating left and right stereo mosaic images that are able to construct 3D information and video sequences could be made for the best use. In the stereo mosaic generation, motion parameters between video sequences should be firstly determined. In this paper, to determine motion parameters, free mosaic method using geometric relationship, such as relative orientation parameters, between consecutive frame images without GPS/INS geo-data have applied. After determining the motion parameters, the mosaic image have generated by 4 step processes: image registration, image slicing, determining on stitching line, and 3D image mosaicking. As the result of experiment, generated stereo mosaic image and analyzed result of x, y-parallax have showed.

Recently, a generation of high quality mosaic images from video sequences has been attempted by a variety of investigations. Among the matter of investigation, in this paper, generation on stereo mosaic utilizing airborne-video sequence images is focused upon. The stereo mosaic is made by creating left and right mosaic which are fabricated by front and rear slices having different viewing angle in consecutive video frames. For making the stereo mosaic, motion parameters which are able to define geometric relationship between consecutive video frames are determined. For determining motion parameters, affine model which is able to explain relative motion parameters is applied by this paper. The mosaicing method using relative motion parameters is called by free mosaic. The free mosaic proposed in this paper consists of 4 step processes: image registration with reference to first frame using affine model, front and rear slicing, stitching line definition and image mosaicing. As the result of experiment, the left and right mosaic image, anaglyphic image for stereo mosaic images are showed and analyzed y-parallax for checking accuracy.
