To solve the timeconsuming problem of image stitching algorithm based on KAZE, a simple and effective image stitching algorithm based on AKAZE is proposed. Firstly, AKAZE feature points are extracted. Secondly, feature vectors are constructed using the MLDB descriptor and matched by computing the Hamming distance. Thirdly, wrong matches are eliminated by RANSAC and the global homography transform, and then a local projection transform is estimated using moving direct linear transformation in the overlapping regions. The image registration is achieved by combining the two transforms. Finally, the weighted fusion method fuses the images. A performance comparison test can be conducted aiming at KAZE, SIFT, SURF, ORB, BRISK. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has better robustness for the various transform, and the processing time is greatly reduced.
