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.

Result

Original Image : This is the image using in the Lucas-Kanade assignment
top of the original image : This is the image uesd to demo the algorithm
down of the original image : This is the image uesd to demo the algorithm

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
