Abstract

In this paper, a novel mosaic algorithm for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Images (UAVI) was put forward. We implemented the automatic mosaic method as follows: Firstly, the UAVI were zoomed and adjusted to the required size using the wavelet frequency-divided encoder. Secondly, the correspondences between the neighboring frames were established and the feature information in the linked list data model was recorded. Finally, the mosaic panorama was fulfilled according as the linked list data model. The experimental result showed that the algorithm was effective and can adapt to the real-time character of UAVI stitching.
