Image stitching aims at generating high-quality panoramas with the lowest computational cost. In this paper, we propose a parallax-tolerant image stitching method based on robust elastic warping, which could achieve accurate alignment and efficient processing simultaneously. Given a group of point matches between images, an analytical warping function is constructed to eliminate the parallax errors. Then, the input images are warped according to the computed deformations over the meshed image plane. The seamless panorama is composed by directly reprojecting the warped images. As an important complement to the proposed method, a Bayesian model of feature refinement is proposed to adaptively remove the incorrect local matches. This ensures a more robust alignment than existing approaches. Moreover, our warp is highly compatible with different transformation types. A flexible strategy of combining it with the global similarity transformation is provided as an example. The performance of the proposed approach is demonstrated using several challenging cases.
