Title
Panorama Generation Based on Aerial Images
Abstract
Due to the progress of manufacturing technology of drones and cameras, the prices of camera-equipped drones are not as expensive as ever and can be easily afford by general people. Camera-equipped drones are mainly used for aerial photography, taking pictures from higher positions, and their shooting coverages are usually much larger than those of traditional handheld cameras. In this paper, we propose an aerial panorama generation system using a camera-equipped drone. The aerial scenes along the flight of the drone can be summarized in an aerial panorama. To make the system adaptive to the flying speed of the drone, we propose a novel speed estimation algorithm capable of measuring the distances of pixel movement between consecutive frames. Consequently, the proposed system can generate aerial panoramas properly, in no need of requiring the drone to fly at a constant speed. Experiments conducted on real videos captured by a drone demonstrate that the proposed aerial panorama generation system can produce satisfactory results.
