Abstract

Nowadays remotely operated vehicles (ROV) have become a popular tool among biologists and geologists to examine and map the seafloor. For analytical purposes, mosaics have to be created from a large amount of recorded video sequences. Existing mosaicing techniques fail in case of non-uniform illuminated environments, due to the presence of a spotlight mounted on the ROV. Also traditional image blending techniques suffer from ghosting artifacts in the presence of moving objects. We propose a general observation model and a robust mosaicing algorithm which tackles these major problems. Results show an improvement in visual quality: noise and ghosting artifacts are removed.
