A study on assembling of sub pictures using approximate junctions

It is important to develop a method of assembling a set of sub pictures automatically into a mosaic picture, because a view through fiberscopes or microscopes with higher magnifying power is much larger than the field of view taken by a camera. This paper presents a method of assembling sub pictures, where roughly estimated junctions called approximate junctions are employed for matching sub pictures. To overcome the difficulties in processing speed and noise corruption, fuzzy rules are applied to get fuzzy values for existence of approximate junctions and fuzzy similarity for congruent triangle matching, and we tried to get a roughly assembling image in short time. Some demonstration, exemplified by assembling microscopic metal matrix photographs, are given to show feasibility of this method
