Final Year Project

Project Title

Drone Image Stitching

Description

The project focuses on drone image stitching, aiming to create high-resolution, geo-referenced panoramic images from aerial photographs. Utilizing advanced feature detection and matching techniques such as SIFT, SURF, ORB, SuperGlue, LoFTR, and Dedode, the project seeks to optimize efficiency and reduce latency in large-scale aerial mapping. The stitching process involves image metadata extraction, feature matching, homography estimation, and seamless image blending to ensure accurate alignment and minimal distortions. This research benefits applications in agriculture, environmental monitoring, and urban planning, where large-area mapping is essential. though challenges arise with larger images with fewer keypoint matches. By refining pairwise stitching strategies and optimizing computational resources, this project aims to enhance real-time drone imaging, making large-scale mapping more precise, efficient, and scalable for diverse applications.
