  • In general, the robust estimation method is well known for a good statistical estimator that is insensitive to small departures from the idealized assumptions for which the estimation is optimized. While there are many existing robust estimation techniques that have been proposed in the literature, two main techniques used in computer vision are M-estimators and least-median of squares (LMS). Among these. we utilized the M-estimators since they are known to provide an optimal estimation of affine motion parameters. The M-estimators have higher statistical efficiency but tolerate much lower percentages of outliers unless properly initialized. To resolve these problems, we proposed an adaptive M-estimators algorithm that effectively separates outliers from non-outliers and estimate affine model parameters, using a continuous sigmoid weight function. The experimental results show the superiority of our method.
