Abstract
A method for reconstructing an imprint image, from a set of image portions, includes the steps of: extracting, from each image portion, a set of local points of interest and, for each point of local interest, calculating a descriptor vector that characterizes said point of local interest; for each pair of two image portions, evaluating a local interest points association score representative of a probability that the two image portions are contiguous on the imprint image; assembling the image portions of a best pair to form an assembled fragment; repeating the above steps by replacing each time, in the set of image portions, the two image portions of the best pair, until all the association scores of the remaining pairs are less than or equal to a predetermined threshold, and producing an assembly map of the image portions; merging the image portions to reproduce the imprint image.
