Image mosaicing from a set of images without configuration information

We proposed a method for creating image mosaics automatically under the condition that arrangement of partial images or camera movement is unknown. In this problem, the process can be divided into two steps. The first step is to search rough arrangements of partial images. The next step is to adjust detailed positioning using rough arrangements. In the first step, it is difficult to check up all combinations of arrangements because the number of them is huge. The proposed method utilizes a genetic algorithm (GA) for the first step. The second one for detailed positioning is performed by local search.
