Abstract
- Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) hyperspectral imaging has been extensively applied in various fields. However, due to the limited imaging width, hyperspectral images (HSIs) captured by UAV need to be stitched so as to effectively cover the study area. In this paper, an effective seamless stitching method with deep feature matching and elastic warp is proposed for HSIs, which consists of the following major steps. First, for each input HSI, a single band grayscale image is obtained by fusing the bands corresponding to the red, green, and blue wavelengths. Second, the feature points of each HSI are obtained with a robust VGG-style network, and matched with a graph neural network. After point pairs are obtained, the next step is to estimate the transformation matrix of adjacent images, and a spectral correction method based on intrinsic decomposition is proposed to ensure the spectral consistency of adjacent images. In the final stage, a seam-cutting and multi-scale blending strategy is adopted to ensure the spatial consistency of the stitching results. Experimental results on real HSIs show that the proposed method is superior to six representative image stitching approaches.
