This study presents a 2-D deformation-based technique for the rectification of image registration. In most current panorama stitching methods, there will invariably exist a serious problem presented in the final registration result. The problem is mainly caused by the mis-registrations and discontinuities in intensity between the registered images. To reduce the problem, a two-step rectification method utilizing the traditional 2-D deformation technique is developed for correcting the distortions of geometric and intensity discontinuities. The experimental results revealed in this study demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method
