Abstract

The purposes of this research were to develop a new method of x-ray images stitching by Harris corner detection, and to compare the proposed methods with the correlation coefficient method and the commercial software of the SAMSUNG x-ray machine. We studied using two parts of the lower limb anthropomorphic phantoms. The image stitching accuracy test was then performed and compared with the correlation coefficient method. We used the images that were stitched by the software of the SAMSUNG x-ray machine as the gold standard. The experimental results were compared with previous methods by analyzing based on the same database. It was demonstrated that the error length of 1.14% and the accuracy of 99.43% with 58.39 seconds of image stitching time was found for the images stitched by Harris corner detection. The error length of 3.90% and the accuracy of 61.27% with 12.67 seconds of image stitching time was found for the correlation coefficient method.
