Image stitching by line-guided local warping with global similarity constraint

作者：

Highlights：

• Line features are imposed to image stitching as strong geometric constraints.

• A new weight integration strategy is proposed to combine the global similarity constraint with projective warping.

• A robust and effective two-stage stitching framework is proposed to achieve good alignment and reduced distortions.
