Image Processing Computer Vision PAGE 9 Exercise 2: Geometrical Transforms Zhongli Liu S1018531 M-EMSYS Address: Calslaan 26-004 Email: z.liu@student.utwente.nl 28 The problem addressed in this exercise is image stitching. Figure 1 shows two images of a map. The images partly overlap. The purpose of this exercise is to glue the images together to obtain a single image covering the full width of the map. We do this by first applying a geometrical transform to the second image such that the transformed image can be seamlessly overlaid by the first image. Figure 1.1 Figu1.2 1. Matlab supports a number of geometrical transforms, i.e. box, projective, affine, etc. See maketform. The position and orientation of the camera relative to first map differs from the position and orientation relative to second map. What is theoretically the appropriate transform for this application? Motivate your choice. According to the above information, it is assumed the left image and right image are not in a same plane, which means a line can be shorter or longer and two parallel lines may not be parallel in the corresponding location in the other image. Hence the transform ‘projective’ is used for its mathematical relation between new and old elements as below: x’ = (ax + by + c)/(gx + hy + 1) (1) y’ = (dx + ey + f)/(gx + hy + 1) (2) With the transform, a rectangle like in one image can be converted to be a to match the corresponding points in another image. Meanwhile, two images are not in a same plane is also the reason why the transform ‘affine’ is not that good. Because ‘affine’ transform can only convert a rectangle to be a parallelogram , some points in the two images may not be well matched when the images are expressed in different 2D plane. However in this assignment, the difference of focusing distances and angles between two original images is not that much which mea
