Geometrical Processing Methods for Digitized Video Images

Production of large mosaics, stereopairs and stereomosaics from digitized video frames has been studied. The central perspective has been assumed and block adjustment has been used in determination of the camera positions and attitudes for each frame. Different alternative strategies have been studied. A simple method for video camera calibration has been developed. The block adjustment results are used in image rectification and mosaicking. The system has been tested with aerial video data.
