Poster Abstract: IMU-assisted Image Stitching for Scenes with Obstructions Based on Camera Motion Sensing

Image stitching is often affected by obstructions such as pedestrians and vehicles. Traditional methods often ignore obstructions or retain them, leading to artifacts. They also cause edge distortion due to fixed-perspective stitching. To address above issues, this poster presents IIS, an IMU-assisted Image Stitching method. It uses IMU data for perspective pre-alignment, projecting images to an intermediate perspective to reduce edge distortion. It simultaneously removes obstructions and mitigating their impact. A weighted target scene stitching strategy is integrated to further enhance stitching quality. IIS effectively reduces artifacts and maintains high computational efficiency.
