Abstract:
1. A method, performed by one or more processing circuits, of image mosaicing to create an output mosaic comprising a plurality of smaller images, wherein the method comprises: providing a mosaic and an image, wherein the mosaic and the image each represent at least part of a scene; estimating, by the processing circuits, a motion of blocks of the image, wherein the motion of a given block of a given image represents how the scene content of the given block has moved during a time interval before taking the given image; and integrating part of the image to the mosaic according to the estimation by selecting an optimal set of blocks of the image, wherein the optimal set is a set of blocks of the image that minimizes a predetermined cost function, wherein the cost function takes as argument one set of blocks of an image and increasingly depends on a cumulated motion of the argument set, wherein the cumulated motion of a given set of blocks of a given image represents how the scene content of the given image at the level of the given set of blocks has moved during a time interval before taking the given image, and stitching the optimal set to the mosaic.
