Images of transmission tower acquired by Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) have high resolution and complex background, the traditional stitching algorithm using feature points can detect a large number of feature points from background which costs much time and affects the matching accuracy. For solving this problem, a new image mosaic algorithm with quick speed and strong robustness was proposed. To reduce the influence of the background, each image was first segmented into foreground and background based on a new implementation method of salient region detection. To improve the feature point extraction and reduce the computation complexity, transformation matrix was calculated and image registration was completed by ORB (Oriented Features from Accelerated Segment Test (FAST) and Rotated Binary Robust Independent Elementary Features (BRIEF)) feature. Finally, the image mosaic was realized with image fusion method based on multi-scale analysis. The experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm can complete image mosaic precisely and quickly with satisfactory mosaic effect.
