Energy-Efficient Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Surveillance Utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Algorithm 1

Overlapped area detection.

Input: Background images with overlapped areas.

Output: Stitched background image without overlapped areas.

1. Compute the sift-key points and descriptors for images.

2. Compute distances between every descriptor in one image and every descriptor in the other image.

3. Select the top best matches for each descriptor of an image.

4. Run RANSAC to estimate homography.

5. Warp to align for stitching.

6. Finally stitch them together.
