Tiling of Satellite Images to Capture an Island Object

This study proposes a novel tiling approach to capture an image of an entire object. Multi-spectral and multi-temporal satellite images are obtained a priori, and these individual image pieces can then be joined together at a later date to form an image of the entire object. The effectiveness of the proposed technique has been studied by tiling partially overlapping satellite mosaic images of the Island of Cyprus. The images were captured by the recently-launched LandSat-8 satellite.
