Abstract
A method for generating improved image mosaics includes using a set of overlapping images of a landscape to determine three-dimensional locations for a plurality of features of the landscape. Based on the three-dimensional locations of the plurality of features, a three-dimensional plane of interest is determined. The overlapping images are warped onto the plane of interest to form a mosaic of images.
