Abstract Virtual reality technology has been widely used in the fields of aerospace, robotics
remote operation and biology medicine and so on. Panoramic image mosaic is one of the very
important parts. Since photographs taken by the ordinary camera may appear distorted, over-
lapping and tilting, we propose a wide mosaic algorithm used in the projection transformation in
this paper. The algorithm first uses the Harris operator to extract corners, adopting the improved
corner response function for avoiding the randomness of k value. Then fast RANSAC method
is used to match the images approximately, and the cross-correlation method of gray window as
the center of feature points is used to the redundant feature points for further exact match. And
then it need solve the model transformation parameters between two images according to these
corners information and obtain the projection transformation matrix. Finally, the application of
image morphing technique is for reconstructing the image having spatial transform, the result of
which are carried on stitching seamlessly with another source image. Experimental results show
that the algorithm is effective to achieve a good mosaic.

1 Introduction
The technology of image mosaic was focused of early application of remote sensing and
photography. In recent years image mosaic has gotten more and more widely used in photog-
raphy, virtual reality, video, image processing and other fields, and it has a great value. The
panoramic image obtained from stitching technique represents an effective form of the real
world, which can eliminate a lot of redundant information of image sequences and compress
storage capacity of information.

At present, many researchers have proposed a variety of image mosaic approaches. These
reviewed approaches are mainly discussed in the frequency domain and spatial domain [5, 7,
13]. The methods of frequency domain are to use the phase correlation of the Fourier
transform and deformation technique in solving some image transformation parameters; the
methods of spatial domain are classified in area-based and feature-based algorithm according
to their nature. The area-based algorithm starts from the gray values of splicing images, and
determines the similarity by calculating the gray correlation to two images. Then the extent
and location of the overlap region of the splicing images are gotten in order to achieve image
mosaic. The feature-based mosaic algorithm searches for matching by extracting feature
points from the corresponding feature area of the overlapping par t of two images. The
algorithm has a relatively high stability and robustness, more extensive application. Image
mosaic process may encounter a variety of different situations, such as image translation,
rotation and scaling, so the applicability requirements of the mosaic algorithm also get higher
and higher. Reddy and Chatter [10] proposed a method based on Fast Fourier Transform
(FFT-based) using the polar coordinate transformation and cross-power spectrum to register
the images with translation, rotation and scaling transformation. In the method, the phase
correlation technique is simple and accurate, but it is required having a greater overlap ratio
between images. Richard Szeliski [12] proposed a projective transformation model based on
eight parameters in the two-dimensional space for image registration, using the iterative
nonlinear minimization algorithm of Levenberg-Marquardt to calculate the geometric trans-
formation parameters between images. His approach in dealing with translation, rotation,
affine transformation to splicing images has a good effect and its convergence speed is fast, so
it has become one of classic algorithms in the field of image mosaic. But in his algorithm,
extracting manually feature points to carry on estimating point transformation makes the
inadequate automation of the entire algorithm, and extracting and matching feature points
have also some inaccuracies. Matungka et al. [9] proposed a registration algorithm combining
adaptive polar transform (APT) with an innovative projection transform. The algorithm uses
the log-radius and the angular direction to express respectively the scale and rotation
parameter, which involves different scale of matching problem. The robustness and accuracy
of their algorithm are very high, but the computational complexity under the polar coordi-
nates is also very high, and the operation efficiency is not also ideal. For the shortcomings of
the existing algorithms, the purpose of this paper is to describe a common framework used in
the projection transformation within which all of these computations can be represented. The
algorithm of the paper has a stability mosaic in the different scale images, and it has also a
good robustness for translation and rotation between images.
This paper is organized as follows: Section 2 describes the whole framework of automatic
image mosaic. Section 3 gives the theory of the improved Harris operator for extracting
corners and creates the corresponding relationship of corners between images by using fast
RANSAC method and the cross-correlation method of gray window. Section 4 provides a
method of solving the projection transformation matrix. Section 5 introduces the technology
of image morphing and provides the process of image mosaic. In Section 6, we give the
experiments and analyze the experimental results. Section 7 provides the conclusions.
2 The whole framework of automatic image mosaic
The overall flowchart of the proposed algorithm is described in Fig.1. In what follows, the
details of each proposed algorithm are described. For analyzing the effectiveness of the
algorithm, the whole process of parameter estimation is given in Section 6.
