Abstract
A procedure for automatic mosaic construction over long image sequences is presented. This mosaic is used by an underwater vehicle to estimate its motion with respect to the ocean floor. The system exploits texture cues to solve the correspondence problem. The dynamic selection of a reference image extracted from the mosaic improves motion estimation, bounding accumulated error. Experiments with real images are reported.
