Final Project:
Recognising
Panoramas
M. Brown and D. G. Lowe Department of Computer Science, University of
British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada.
The problem considered in this paper is the fully automatic construction of
panoramas. Fundamentally, this problem requires recognition, as we need to
know which parts of the panorama join up. Basically, there are two
parts of method for automatic image matching: direct and feature
based. Feature based methods begin by establishing correspondences between
points, lines or other geometrical entities. In this project, I will
try to use matlab to implement two kinds of feature based algorithm, Scale Invariant Feature
Transform (SIFT) and extracting Harris corners and using
a normalised cross-correlation of the
local intensity values.

Conclusion
Although I've done the Feature Matching and Image Matching, there are still two parts, Bundle Adjustment and
Multi-band Blending, and other works need to done.
Really thanks for Prof Chris Bregler
