First, video frame pairs for stitching are divided into segments of different classes through semantic segmentation. Region-based stitching is performed on matched segment pairs, assuming that segments of the same semantic class are on the same plane. Second, to prevent degradation of the stitching quality of plain or noisy videos, the homography for each matched segment pair is estimated using the temporally consistent feature points. Finally, the stitched video frame is synthesized by stacking the stitched matched segment pairs and the foreground segments to the reference frame plane by descending order of the area. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated by comparing the subjective quality, geometric distortion, and pixel distortion of video sequences stitched using the proposed and conventional methods. The proposed method is shown to reduce parallax and misalignment distortion in segments with plain texture or large parallax, and significantly improve geometric distortion and pixel distortion compared to conventional methods.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21124020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,10]],"date-time":"2021-06-10T21:34:38Z","timestamp":1623360878000},"page":"4020","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Region-Based Static Video Stitching for Reduction of Parallax Distortion"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Keon-woo","family":"Park","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Information Technology & Mobile Communications Biz., Samsung Electronics, Suwon-si 16677, Gyeonggi-do, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yoo-Jeong","family":"Shim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Information Engineering, Korea Aerospace University, Goyang-si 10540, Gyeonggi-do, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3136-2819","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Myeong-jin","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Information Engineering, Korea Aerospace University, Goyang-si 10540, Gyeonggi-do, Korea"},{"name":"Deptartment of Smart Drone Convergence, Korea Aerospace University, Goyang-si 10540, Gyeonggi-do, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"87","DOI":"10.1109\/MMUL.2018.011921238","article-title":"360-degree virtual-reality cameras for the masses","volume":"25","author":"Tan","year":"2018","journal-title":"IEEE Multimed."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"51","DOI":"10.1109\/MMUL.2018.2879592","article-title":"Multipoint cooperative transmission for virtual reality in 5G new radio","volume":"26","author":"Yan","year":"2019","journal-title":"IEEE Multimed."},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"198:1","DOI":"10.1145\/2980179.2980257","article-title":"Jump: Virtual reality video","volume":"35","author":"Anderson","year":"2016","journal-title":"ACM Trans.
