Image mosaicing involves stitching together multiple overlapping images to create a panoramic mosaic. The key steps are: 1) Taking a sequence of images from the same position and computing the transformation between each image, 2) Warping the images to align them by shifting pixels according to the transformation, and 3) Blending the aligned images together, with techniques like weighted averaging, to produce a seamless mosaic. Key challenges include dealing with moving objects, illumination variations, and interpolating pixel values when pixels are mapped between discrete pixel locations during warping.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

18. Image reprojection
• Observation
– Rather than thinking of this as a 3D reprojection,
think of it as a 2D image warp from one image to
another

19. Motion models
• What happens when we take two images
with a camera and try to align them?
• translation?
• rotation?
• scale?
• affine?
• Perspective?
19
21. 2D coordinate transformations
• translation: x’ = x + t x = (x,y)
• rotation: x’ = R x + t
• similarity: x’ = s R x + t
• affine: x’ = A x + t
• perspective: x’ H x x = (x,y,1)
(x is a homogeneous coordinate)
21
29. Finding the transformation
Translation = 2 degrees of freedom
Similarity = 4 degrees of freedom
Affine = 6 degrees of freedom
Homography = 8 degrees of freedom
How many corresponding points do we
need to solve?
30. Solving for homographies
30
• A homography is a projective object, in that it has no
scale. It is represented by the above matrix, up to scale.
• One way of fixing the scale is to set one of the coordinates
to 1, though that choice is arbitrary.
• But that’s what most people do.
33. Direct Linear Transforms (n points)
Defines a least squares problem:
• Since is only defined up to scale, solve for unit vector
• Solution: = eigenvector of with smallest
eigenvalue
• Works with 4 or more points
2n × 9 9 2n
33
45. RANSAC for estimating homography
• RANSAC loop:
1. Select four feature pairs (at random)
2. Compute homography H (exact)
3. Compute inliers where ||pi´, H pi|| < ε
• Keep largest set of inliers
• Re-compute least-squares H estimate
using all of the inliers

a source image f(x), how do we compute a
transformed image g(x’) = f(h(x))?
f(x) g(x’)
x x’

47
48. Forward Warping
• Send each pixel f(x) to its corresponding
location x’ = h(x) in g(x’)
f(x) g(x’)
x x’

54. Image Interpolation
• The brightness interpolation problem is usually
expressed in a dual way (by determining the
brightness of the original point in the input image
that corresponds to the point in the output image
lying on the discrete raster).
• Usually, a small neighborhood is used.
55. Nearest neighbor interpolation
Assigns to the point (x,y) the brightness value of
the nearest point g in the discrete raster
inverse planar
transformation of
the output image
onto the input
image
57. Interpolation vs. Nearest Neighbor
• Error of the nearest neighborhood
interpolation is at most half a pixel
• Linear interpolation can cause a small
decrease in resolution and blurring due to
its averaging nature.
• The problem of step like straight
boundaries with the nearest neighborhood
interpolation is reduced.
59. Bicubic Interpolation
• Improves the model of the brightness function by
approximating it locally by a bicubic polynomial
surface; sixteen neighboring points are used for
interpolation.
• The interpolation kernel (`Mexican hat') is given
by
60. Bicubic Interpolation
The brightness values of the
neighbors are first interpolated
horizontally to determine the
brightness values at the
locations outlined in red,
then
these values are interpolated
vertically to determine the
brightness at the target pixel
outlined in blue.
The summation goes from k-1 to
k+2 then from j-1 to j+2.
61. Implementation Steps
1. Determine the closest pixel to (x’,y’). Then select the
other 15 pixels (x-1 x+2 and y-1 y+2)
2. For Row 1 (y-1): Assume the four pixels have grey levels
(g1, g2, g3, g4) and are at distances dx (-1.1, -0.2, 0.9,
1.5).
Then the new grey level should be:
Gy-1=(4-8(1.1)+5(1.1^2)-(1.1^3))*g1 +
(4-8(1.5)+5(1.5^2)-(1.5^3))*g4 +
(1-2(0.2^2)+(0.2^3)*g2 +
(1-2(0.9^2)+(0.9^3)*g3.
3. Repeat for Gy, Gy+1, and Gy+2
4. Then Apply similar equation in step 2 but with the
calculated grey levels and dy (-1,0,1,2).
62. Bicubic Interpolation
• Bicubic interpolation does not suffer from the
step-like boundary problem of nearest
neighborhood interpolation, and copes with
linear interpolation blurring as well.
• Bicubic interpolation is often used in raster
displays that enable zooming with respect to an
arbitrary point -- if the nearest neighborhood
method were used, areas of the same
brightness would increase.
• Bicubic interpolation preserves fine details in the
image very well.
