Image Blending with Osmosis
Image blending is an integral part of many multi-image applications such as panorama stitching or remote image acquisition processes. In such scenarios, multiple images are connected at predefined boundaries to form a larger image. A convincing transition between these boundaries may be challenging, since each image might have been acquired under different conditions or even by different devices. We propose the first blending approach based on osmosis filters. These drift-diffusion processes define an image evolution with a non-trivial steady state. For our blending purposes, we explore several ways to compose drift vector fields based on the derivatives of our input images. These vector fields guide the evolution such that the steady state yields a convincing blended result. Our method benefits from the well-founded theoretical results for osmosis, which include useful invariances under multiplicative changes of the colour values. Experiments on real-world data show that this yields better quality than traditional gradient domain blending, especially under challenging illumination conditions.

Variational Osmosis for Non-linear Image Fusion
We propose a new variational model for non-linear image fusion. Our approach is based on the use of an osmosis energy term related to the one studied in Vogel et al. (2013) and Weickert et al. (2013) The minimization of …
