Resumen

Feature extraction and matching is a key component in image stitching and a critical step in advancing image reconstructions, machine vision and robotic perception algorithms. This paper presents a fast and robust underwater image mosaicking system based on (2D)2PCA and A-KAZE key-points extraction and optimal seam-line methods. The system utilizes image enhancement as a preprocessing step to improve quality and allow for greater keyframe extraction and matching performance, leading to better quality mosaicking. The application focus of this paper is underwater imaging and it demonstrates the suitability of the developed system in advanced underwater reconstructions. The results show that the proposed method can address the problems of noise, mismatching and quality issues which are typically found in underwater image datasets. The results demonstrate the proposed method as scale-invariant and show improvements in terms of processing speed and system robustness over other methods found in the literature.
