A novel technique for non-overlapping image mosaicing based on pyramid method

Abstract

Image mosaicing has been used in various arenas of image engineering. The main purpose of this research work is to develop a novel blending algorithm for mosaicing of two non-overlapping images with minimum distortion and no visible seam. In the proposed method, images are mosaiced using the pyramid technique and Savitzky-Golay filter is used for smoothing the seam between the images in the generated mosaic. Savitzky-Golay filter, is based on the least square fitting of polynomial functions of image intensities. It effectively reduces the noise and preserves the image information content resulting in a visually pleasing mosaiced image. The results and comparative analysis show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
