Panoramic Video which uses 360 degree panoramic image is a new approach for composing virtual environment. The panoramic images can be created by “stitching” together overlapping images taken with an ordinary camera. So image mosaics are very important in creating panorama. In this paper, we proposed an intelligent mosaics algorithm. We first use particle swarm optimization (PSO) to find a certain area which contains sufficient objective characters, then we use pattern matching method to search the matching patch in another image and adjust image; at last, the mosaic image is created by a multi-resolution method. Experimental results testy that this algorithm is able to seamlessly stitch two overlapping images automatically.
