An image mosaic is created by combining numerous images together to create one large one. In this example, it is demonstrated how to create a mosaic from a video image in real-time using a high level interface which hides much of the complexity. The mosaic is created by tracking image features and fitting a motion model (affine or homography) to the feature's location in each frame.

Concepts:

  • Image Stitching
  • Image Mosaic
  • 2D image motion

/**
 * Example of how to create a mosaic from a video sequence using StitchingFromMotion2D.  Mosaics work best
 * when the scene being observed is far away or a flat surface.  The camera motion should typically be rotational only,
 * but translation can work depending on the scene's geometry.  Motion blur and cheap cameras in general will degrade
 * performance significantly with the current algorithm.  This example just demonstrates a gray scale image, but
 * with additional work color images can also be processed.
