  1. Seamless Image Stitching in the Gradient Domain Levin, Zomet, Peleg and Weiss ECCV 2004

  2. Image Stitching • Capturing different portions of the same scene with an overlap region viewed in both images • Keep mosaic as similar as possible to original both geometrically and photometrically • The seam between the images should be invisible

  3. Image Stitching Overlap Regions

  4. Previous Approaches • Optimal Seam • Search for a curve in the overlap region on which the differences between the images is minimal • Poorly handles global intensity differences

  5. Previous Approaches • Feathering • Smooth the transition by weighting alpha mask as a function of the distance from the seam • Poorly handles misalignments

  6. Previous Approaches • Pyramid Blending • Combine different frequency bands with different alpha masks • Poorly handles misalignments

  7. Common Problems Global Intensity Difference Horizontal Misalignment Vertical Misalignment

  8. New Approach : GIST Goal: Minimize the dissimilarity between the derivatives of the images Gradient-domain Image STitching (GIST) Take two aligned input images, overlap them, minimize the distance between their derivatives.

  9. GIST I1 I2

  10. GIST • Initialize the solution image I • Iterate until convergence • For all x,y in the image, update I(x,y) to be:

  11. GIST Advantages • Invariant to the mean intensity of the image • Less sensitive to smooth global differences • Penalizes inconsistent derivatives • Where I1 and I2 have low gradients, penalizes for high gradients in mosaic.
