Abstract

In order to solve the problems that image’s entropy of information decline obviously and boundary line phenomenon appear obviously in the processing of aerial remote sensing image’s mosaic, an image mosaic approach is presented in this paper, which uses wavelet image fusion based on structure similarity and is capable of creating seamless mosaics in real-time. The approach consists of three steps. First, the overlapping area of two aerial images is extracted. Then, the two overlapping area images are fused adaptively by the method of multi-layer wavelet decomposition based on the structure similarity and appointed regulation. Finally, weighted average fusion is used again to avoid the visible boundary line for the both sides of the boundary of the above fusion image. Experimental results show the entropy of information, sharpness and standard deviation have been improved significantly, and the boundary line has been eliminated observably.
