Image Stitching Technology in 3D Film Production Based on Digital Image Processing

Abstract

Image stitching in 3D film production synchronizes multiple independent frame images as a single high-resolution output. The stitching process is common for displaying a large coverage or shot in a single frame containing distinct images. For improving the realistic accuracy of 3D film images, this manuscript introduces an Itinerant Pixel-Matching-based Stitching Process (IPMSP). The proposed stitching process relies on cross-sectional pixels identified in merging two or more images. Based on the linear cumulative distribution in augmenting images, the homogeneity feature is identified. If the homogeneity is high then the stitching for linear pixels occurs increasing the frame resolution and size. The cumulative distribution is determined using the recurrent neural network in verifying homogeneity and contrast. For the contrast pixels identified, the cross-sectional matching is performed for substituting similar pixels in the missing sections. The process is repeated until the stitching region is the same based on the homogeneity feature and increased dimensions. Therefore, this process is capable of improving accuracy, precision, substitution, and reducing errors and complexity.
