Image Augmentation Using Hybrid RANSAC Algorithm

Abstract

The process of augmenting the number of images in a dataset is called Image Augmentation. Data volume is essential to process and generate digital outputs from a variety of features. This work focuses on the image augmentation using a hybrid RANSAC algorithm. The features extracted is used to join or merge the images by the blending of images. The proposed RANSAC algorithm is used to extract features from four images and produce the desired mosaiced image. A mosaiced picture is best suited for aerial photos and real-world objects. The blur metric of the proposed method is 185.2587 and which is 2.86% higher than the feathering blending algorithms. The total number of images in the dataset is 2100. The number of images after augmentation is 6300 with average accuracy of 95.6%. The reported remarkable results are beneficial to all the stakeholders on image augmentation.
