System and method for mosaicing digital ortho-images
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of establishing a seam line between adjacent image strips that minimizes imaging effects of elevated features in the image strips, comprising the steps of:
- selecting an initial seam line between the image strips;
dividing the initial seam line into small segments;
determining the position of an elevated feature in a segment from a digital elevation model; and
altering the route of the seam line in that segment based on the position of the elevated feature.

Abstract
The present invention provides a system and method for mosaicing multiple input images, captured by one or more remote sensors, into a seamless mosaic of an area of interest. Each set of input images captured by the remote sensors within a capture interval are ortho-rectified and mosaiced together into a composite image. Successive composite images, along a given flight path, are then mosaiced together to form a strip. Adjacent strips are then mosaiced together to form a final image of the area of interest.
