Abstract—Image stitching detects several images of the same
scene and then merges those images to generate a single
panoramic image. This paper presents a framework to compare
different kind of panorama-creation process, such as correlation-
based method and feature-based method with a view to develop
an optimum panorama. The evaluations are done by comparing
the outputs with respect to the original ground truth along with
computation time. We have done simulations by applying these
two approaches to draw a satisfactory resolution.

I. INTRODUCTION
Image stitching is a mechanism for forming panoramic
images. We know that over-lapping regions of input images
may produce visible seam between images which is caused by
the disparities in camera responses and illuminations of scene
and errors in spatial alignment. Image stitching is a technique
to locate and remove the seams of the overlapping areas of the
input images and then blend together [1].
There are many methods to produce stitched image. Image
stitching is less hardware-intensive but mostly software-based
mechanism to generate a wide field of view image. It captures
many regular pictures to cover up the whole viewing space
and stitches together all the images to build a single image
with a larger field of view [2]. Image alignment or registration
of images, is a prerequisite for image stitching. Alignment or
registration is the process of finding correspondence
considering rotation, translation and scaling between two
images of the same scene.
The categories of image stitching techniques can be
generally classified into intensity based- or direct- and feature-
based-method. Direct method is very functional for stitching
images which have no overlapping region. Feature based
method can be functional in small overlapping region. Image
stitching using correlation is one of the most primitive
stitching techniques, which is basically an intensity-based
approach and suitable for images with overlapping or non-
overlapping region [3], [4].To establish correspondences
among a set of images, feature correspondence between two or
more images are considered necessary, so, it is essential to
identify a set of prominent points in each image [5].
In image registration, it is compulsory to align two or
more images of a scene. The major steps, concerned in image
registration or alignment tasks are: (i) feature detection; (ii)
feature matching based on transformation functions using
corresponding features in images; (iii) reconstruction of
images using derived transformation function. For matching
and recognition, the first step is to detect location of interests
in the images. Then descriptors are computed and these need
to be compared to find the association between images for
matching operation. So, we should use feature detector and a
feature descriptor for extracting features from images [6], [7].
The main objective of this paper is to give a guideline
for optimum stitching to fulfill the satisfaction on diverse
applications. We have structured the rest of the paper as
follows: Section II describes literature review. In Section III,
we have presented a brief depiction of the stitching algorithms.
In Section IV, we have performed the performance evaluation
on the obtained results. We discussed about applications of
image stitching algorithms in Section V. Finally, we have
turned the conclusion of the paper along with some future
research directions in Section VI.

(Scale Invariant Feature Transform) based feature matching
and transformation parameters. Ostiak et al [14] presented a
fully automated HDR (High Dynamic Range) panorama
stitching algorithm where he used the SIFT based algorithm
for the recognition of the corresponding feature points.
All methods have merits and demerits. With this
view, in the current paper we have performed a comparative
study on feature based- and correlation based-method to
develop an optimum image stitching approach on the basis of
application perspective.
Figure 1. Flow diagram of our methodology.
III. METHODOLOGY
The methodology consists of the following steps:
A. Image Acquisition
The first step is acquisition of images which means
capturing images by camera devices or acquiring from
secondary sources.
B. Alignment
The reason of alignment is to locate are liable alignment
parameter which can decrease the miss-registration between
every pair of images. It is very useful to widen the pair wise
matching criterion [15], [16].
So, here, we need to detect and match features between
images I(n) and I(n-1).Then, we have to estimate geometric
transformation T that maps images 𝐼 to 𝐼 𝑛 as follows[17],
[18],
𝑇 = 𝑇 × 𝑇 × 𝑇 × … 𝑇 𝑛 − × 𝑇 𝑛
In Eq. (1), 𝑇 , 𝑇 , 𝑇 , … , 𝑇 𝑛 − , 𝑇 𝑛 are
the geometric transformations of images
𝐼 , 𝐼 , 𝐼 , … , 𝐼 𝑛 − , 𝐼 𝑛 , respectively.
C. Locating Overlapping Region
Locating the overlapping region is the next step. This is
essential for the consequent features between several images
[20], [21].If the overlapping region exists, then we can have
two types of output: feature-based panorama and correlation-
based panorama. But, if overlap does not exist, our method
stitches the images directly one after another one.
D. Feature-Based Stitching
Generally, for creating panorama, one image i s
s e l e c t e d as the reference and then all the images are
sequentially used for stitching. The result is often known as a
flat panorama [22], [23].
Image stitching can be applied on s e v e r a l projective
layouts, for example, rectilinear projection, where the
panorama is observed lying on a plane (two-dimensional)
crossing a pano-sphere at a point [24]. Rectilinear projection
uses cube faces with cubic mapping for viewing panorama and
it demonstrates a cylindrical projection [25], [26].
After plotting the source pixels against the ultimate
composite surface, it is necessary to blend them for creating a
panorama. Therefore, blending operation is a
prerequisite for image stitching. Feathering, image
pyramid and gradient domain are some familiar blending
procedures [27].Blending operator forms a blend of two input
images of the same size [28],[29]. Feathering is used for
blurring the edges of features. From the two overlapping
images, the average pixel values are evaluated for the blended
regions. Multi-band image blending is another well-known
method that executes in the gradient domain [30],[31],[32].
These magnitudes are used such that the output pixel
values do not surpass the highest pixel value.
The resulting image , is calculated using the
formula,
, = 𝑋 × , + − 𝑋 × ,
In Eq. (2), P1 and P2 are the two input images. In some
applications, X may also be a constant, thus allowing a
constant offset value to be added to a single image. X is the
blending ratio which determines the control of each input
image points into output. X can either be a constant factor for
all pixels in the image or can be determined for each pixel
separately using a mask. The size of the mask must be
identical with the size of the images [33].
E. Correlation-Based Stitching
We do not need to extract features in correlation-based
stitching approach. This process depends on the relation
between two images. It is variant to rotation, scaling and other

transformation. For accurate preprocessed images, correlation
approach is efficient to apply.
Determining the correlation values is the first step in
this method. Matching interest points in two un-calibrated
images is fundamental problem in computer vision.
Correlations generally used in many applications that require
matching parts of the images [34], [35], [36]. We have
calculated correlation coefficient r between two images
and using the following equation,
𝑟 =
∑ ∑ − ′
− ′
√ ∑ ∑ − ′ ∑ ∑ − ′
In Eq. (3), A′
= mean A andB′
= mean B .
After determining the maximum correlation value of the two
images we have to find the maximum degree of column vector
[37], [38].
Merging is the next step. When the source pixels are
mapped onto the final surface, then these are blended in order
to generate a panorama and the seam line adjusted to reduce
the visibility of seams between two images[39], [40],[41].
F. Comparison
In this step, Feature-based panorama and Correlation-
based panorama are compared with the Ground truth. The
approach will move forward with the better result depending
on the optimization of accuracy.
IV. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
We applied our method on ten-image set and each
image set consists of two images as inputs. We have prepared
two input images (480×475 pixels each, for image set 1 to 8)
from some original images using Microsoft Office Picture
Manager. Besides these, we also used input images of other
sizes (500×475 pixels for image set 9 and 700×475 pixels for
image set 10).All these images have some overlapping regions
as well as repetitions. Then, we have inputted these images to
create the panorama using stitching techniques: feature-based
panorama and correlation-based panorama [39]. All the outputs
are generated using MATLAB R2017a with Microsoft Windows
10 platform, Intel Core i3, 2.00 GHz processor and 4.00GB
RAM. During experimentation, we found that feature-based
method consumes more time but correlation-based method
takes less time. So, if these two methods are compared in term
of speed, the correlation method is faster. Accuracies for the
both methods are almost similar, as the images are mostly
aligned from the initial stage. Figure 2 shows an image (which
is used as a ground truth for the stitched image). This image is
cut into two images with some overlapping and shown in
Figure 3. Figure 4(a) shows the registration process on the
basis of feature points. Figure 4(b) shows the overlapping
region. Figure 4(c) presents the stitched image using
correlation-based method and Figure 4(d) shows the stitched
image for feature-based method. Similar to Figures 2-4, we
have done the same operations in Figures 7-9 for an HDR
image and in Figures 10-12 for a microscopy image. Figure 5
shows two images without any overlap region and Figure 6
presents its corresponding stitched image by direct method
(simple stitching).

V. APPLICATIONS
Image stitching is mostly used in diverse applications,
such as, image stabilization, HDR (High Dynamic Range)
image mosaicing, high resolution photo mosaics in digital maps
and satellite photos, medical imaging, multiple image super-
resolution, video stitching, object insertion, microscopy image
stitching and group photographs. In this paper, we have
experimented with natural-, HDR- and microscopy-image and
got satisfactory results.
VI. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORKS
Image stitching is the process of forming a high
resolution stitched (panorama) image by combining two or
more images together. These input images have some
overlapping region with wide field of view to structure a
segmented panorama. There are different algorithms for
feature detection. Feature-based method uses feature
descriptors and correlation-based method uses correlation
values to create panorama.
In this paper, we have shown a framework to produce
an optimized panorama image on the basis of application
needs. We have thoroughly investigated feature-based and
correlation-based with accuracy and computation time.
Usually, feature-based method needs higher computation time.
But correlation method is suitable if the two images are
aligned that means registered. Features are very useful for
good registration. So, for high quality output in somehow non-
aligned environment feature-based method is the optimum
choice.
High-quality panorama also depends on light
exposure and distortion of lens. So, image calibration can be a
supplementary part between acquisition of images and image
registration. For good visual feeling we have used alpha
blending method that can be replaced by a more robust
technique. Another intricacy is photo distortion that arises
from the perspective transformation and can be improved by
lens distortion correction method.
