Review text

The computation for image mosaicing using homographies is numerically unstable and causes large image distortions if the matching points are small in number and concentrated in a small region in each image. This instability stems from the fact that actual transformations of images are usually in a small subgroup of the group of homographies. It is shown that such undesirable distortions can be removed by \textit{model selection} using the geometric AIC without introducing any empirical thresholds. It is shown that the accuracy of image mosaicing can be improved \textit{beyond} the theoretical bound imposed on statistical optimization. This is made possible by our \textit{knowledge} about probable subgroups of the group of homographies. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method by real image examples. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0977.68800].
