Abstract

A method for determining a seam line of orthoimages, method for generating a mosaic image, device, and medium. The method includes: extracting valid area contours of a master image and a slave image respectively through a crawling search method; calculating difference values of valid pixels within an overlapping area between the master and slave images through a difference function, to obtain a difference map of the valid area; if there are more than two intersection points: calculating a position of a centroid of the overlapping area based on coordinates of each contour point of the intersection contour, determining a rectangular window centered on the centroid in the difference map, searching the rectangular window, and taking a position with a smallest difference value as an optimization end and the intersection points as optimization starts; determining, based on the optimization start and optimization end, a seam line through an A* algorithm.
