In this paper, we explore the possibility of improving image stitching with respect to subject’s geometry. Through recent advancements in object detection it has become possible to identify major landmarks in image (Tensorflow). Traditional approach looks for the best matches in the images and due to depth of perception the most prominent points are usually in the background. Our approach focuses on the possibility to detect the subject and use the feature points extracted from the subject for stitching the image which results in preservation of subject geometry.By focusing the feature points on the subject, we obtain better geometry, this is particularly useful if the image is to be used in a 3-dimensional environment.
