Title
Stitching without breaking objects.
Description
When having a camera sensor mounted on a mobile robot, taking pictures of the ground while the robot moves one might want to stitch those images together. If the displacement of the robot/camera from successive images is unknown this stitching process requires some overlap of images. This also means that single objects are visible in several images. The task of extracting single objects could be done in a stitched images but this would mean that part of the object might origin from different images even though the needed overlap of images could result in an object being totally included in one of the images. Extracting an object from a single image is expected to result in a higher quality than having to merge images taken from different viewpoints and with a temporal variation caused by object movement and lightning changes. The problem described here can be formulated as how to decide the stitching path through the overlapping region of subsequent images.
