Panorama stitchers, feathering, seaming etc..

[Yili Zhao]

Hi,
  it seems that there are some methods to do the task:
  o weighted function method
    paper: R. Szeliski, "Video mosaics for virtual environments," 
    in IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications, pages 22-30, 1996.
  o mutltiresolution spline method
    paper: Burt, Peter J, Adelson, Edward H. A Multiresolution Spline With Application to Image Mosaics. 
    ACM Transactions on Graphics 1983. October, 2(4):217~236
    I find that some other papers also refer to this paper.
  o seam line method
    paper: Marie-Lise Duplaquet. Building Large Image Mosaic with Invisible Seam-Line,
    Proceedings of SPIE, Vol 3387, Orlando, 1998,8,369~377.
    I remember there is another paper on this topic with "best seam line", but can not
    remember its full name. Maybe pt uses this category method.
  Also, Ken Turkowski has two great papers on rectilinear and fisheye panorama stitcher,
  and you can find them on his homepage.
