Abstract: This paper describes a novel image registration in mosaic framework based on a new type of local invariant feature. Our features are located using Gabor-based features detector which gives spatial distribution of features. We sample a feature descriptor using a newly proposed Relational Gabor Features that adapts relational features onto Gabor magnitude using varying patch sizes obtained during features detection. We tested our proposed features for mosaicing underwater image sequences at ten meters depth taken in Redang Island, Terengganu, Malaysia. Based on the experimental results, the proposed method has produced in highly effective image registration method to obtain a coherent underwater image mosaic.
