Abstract Traditional feature-based image stitching techniques often encounter obstacles when dealing with images lacking unique attributes or suffering from quality degradation. The scarcity of annotated datasets in real-life scenes severely undermines the reliability of supervised learning methods in image stitching. Furthermore, existing deep learning architectures designed for image stitching are often too bulky to be deployed on mobile and peripheral computing devices. To address these challenges, this study proposes a novel unsupervised image stitching method based on the YOLOv8 (You Only Look Once version 8) framework that introduces deep homography networks and attention mechanisms. The methodology… More >
