Definition

Image mosaicing is the process of generating a composite image (mosaic) from a video sequence or in general from a set of overlapping images of a scene or an object, usually resulting in a mosaic image with a larger field of view than any of the original images.

Overview

When collecting a video about a scene or object, especially with a mobile platform (such as a robot), each individual image in the video may be limited compared to the desired final product, including limitations in the field of view, dynamic range, or image resolution. Generating mosaics with larger fields of view (Iketani et al. 2006; Irani et al. 1995; Rousso et al. 1998; Peleg and Ben-Ezra 1999; Shum and Szeliski 1999; Zhu et al. 2004), higher dynamic ranges (Eden et al. 2006), and/or higher image resolutions (Marzotto et al. 2004) facilitates video viewing, video understanding, video transmission,...
