We present a simple and efficient method to seamlessly stitch the images according to a stitching line based on an energy map. The power of this method lies in the integration of many superior features and at the same time, it is still efficient. One striking feature of our approach is that it is based on the philosophy that human eyes mostly notice only the salient features of an image and the stitching line skirts round the important objects like human faces to avoid distorting the content of image in the seam area. Robustness is another salient characteristic of our method in de-ghosting when moving objects are left in which will appear blurry and "ghosted." Unlike previous approaches to the same problem, the method also has least distortion of the original images. We finally present several useful applications of this method such as Quick Texture Stitching.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
