AERIAL IMAGES STITCHING ALGORITHM BASE ON GEOMETRIC ALIGNMENT OF FRAMES

In this article, the synthesis algorithm of a continuous image of the earth’s surface from individual overlapping frames is proposed. The algorithm based on determining the law of geometric alignment of images using the coordinates of feature points identified in the common areas of adjacent frames. Examples of practical use of an algorithm for the geometrical alignment of frames received by using a digital camera are given. The paper reflects the features by using the Harris algorithm for reliable identification of feature points on the analyzed images. The problems of determining the adequate mathematical models, allowing to carry out a qualitative combination of images are investigated.
