Image stitching is still challenging in consumer-level photography due to imperfect image captures. Recent works show that seam-cutting approaches can effectively relieve the artifacts generated by local misalignment. Normally, the seam-cutting approach is described in terms of energy minimization. However, few of existing methods consider the human perception in their energy functions, which sometimes causes that there exists another seam that is perceptually better than the one with the minimum energy. In this paper, we propose a novel perception-based seam-cutting approach that considers the nonlinearity and the nonuniformity of human perception into the energy minimization. Our method uses a sigmoid metric to characterize the perception of color discrimination and a saliency weight to simulate that the human eye inclines to pay more attention to the salient objects. In addition, our approach can be easily integrated into other stitching pipelines. Representative experiments demonstrate substantial improvements over the conventional seam-cutting approach.
