Abstract Automatic generation is a critical procedure in remote sensing image mosaicking and a key technique for producing digital orthophoto map (DOM). The seamline is closely related to the object integrity and color consistency in the image,so the automatic generation of seamline determines directly the quality and efficiency of mosaic processing, which thus becomes a hot research topic both in China and abroad. In this paper,the authors described the relative principle of the seamline generation and made a summary of four methods for automatic generation of seamline,which included methods based on overlap area image difference,identical points,auxiliary data and morphology. The prospect of further optimizing the seamline is forecasted on the basis of comparing and analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of these methods.
