Abstract

Over the past decade, several image mosaicing methods have been proposed in robotic mapping and remote sensing applications. Owing to rapid developments in obtaining optical data from areas beyond human reach, there is a high demand from different science fields for creating large-area image mosaics, often using images as the only source of information. One of the most important steps in the mosaicing process is motion estimation between overlapping images to obtain the topology, i.e., the spatial relationships between images.
