Abstract
A method of creating custom datasets is provided. The method comprises capturing, with a camera, a sequence of images of a surface in a specified crawl direction over a number of sequential crawl steps that represent changes of camera position. For each crawl step, the method matches a first image and a second image captured at sequential camera positions. The method models each crawl step as a pairwise quadratic transformation between the first image and second image according to a number of respective anchor points in each image selected as best candidates to fit a regression model.
