Looking for tutorials on image blending and mosaicing

image processing

anybody has some good tutorial on image blending and mosaicing?
i am just a beginner and i want to create an ultra wide single image by combining many smaller images....

image processing

I haven't done this myself, but it sounds like you want some software to do this with. Check out **broken link removed** site for a list of articles and software for doing this sort of thing.

Re: image processing

Hi,

Do you just simply needing some software to develop it? Or do you have need for help in developing the software?

If it is the software, basically mosaicking consist of 3 parts

1) Find correlation between points in two image
2) Find the projective geometry that will map one into another. Then map onto the enlarged canvas with the two or more images if we take one image as the anchor image plane
3) Image process them ie color blending to remove lines at the joining point and also to blend the contrast between two image. Maybe also to crop the image to reduce redundant black space

I guess each step is tough on its own and can involve a whole string of problems by itself due to the nature of the image. Anyway below are some readings 1) and 3) probably relate to some projective geometry stuff while 2) relate to color blending which you can try to use

1) R. Szeliski, “Video mosaics for virtual environments”, IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications 16(2), 1996, 22-30
2) J. Burt and K. Adelson, “A multiresolution spline with application to image mosaics”, ACM Transactions on Graphics 2, 1983, 217-236
3) Paul Heckbert “Projective Mapping for Image Warping”, Fundamentals of Texture Mapping and ImageWarping, 17-21

Hope it helps!
