Abstract
A novel automatic seamless stitching method is presented. Compared to the traditional method, it can speed the processing and minimize the utilization of human resources to produce global lunar map. Meanwhile, a new global image map of the Moon with spatial resolution of ∼120 m has been completed by the proposed method from Chang’E-1 CCD image data.
