Image mosaic construction system and apparatus with patch-based alignment, global block adjustment and pair-wise motion-based local warping

摘要

The system of the invention aligns a set plural overlapping images useful in constructing a mosaic by performing patch-based alignment of the set of overlapping images to produce a set of warped images, performing block adjustment of the set of warped images to produce a set of block-adjusted images, and then performing pair-wise motion-based local warping of the set of block-adjusted images.
