Abstract

The manual execution of reassembling a fragmented image is very difficult and it requires great amount of time. To overcome this difficulty a new technique was introduced in the existing system called “The novel integrated color based image fragments reassembly technique”. This technique is divided into four steps, which is based on color. Initially, the spatial adjacent image fragment is discovered. The second operation is to discovery of matching contour segments of adjacent image fragments. The next step is to find the appropriate geometrical transformation for an image fragments contour alignment. Finally the overall image assembly is done via novel based algorithms. Still it requires more time to assemble the fragment images. In this proposed system, the same reassembly technique is applied but additionally the shape alignment algorithm is used to utilize the shape of the fragment contours in order to perform matching. This will produce very satisfactory reassembly results and also it can lead to more efficient, significant reduction in human effort.

Keywords
