Digital photometrology and the other applications need to mosaic serial images to yield panoramas. The algorithm for mosaicing several frames of images with rotation or distortion are discussesed. In the algorithm, two pairs of control points between two frames for rough positioning are used, and the corresponding points with local-adaptive matching are precisely positioned, and then the data are merged gradually. The experimental results show that the algorithm can solve the rotation and distortion problems in image mosaic to a certain extent, and avoid losing details.
