Underwater optical mapping often involves the use
of image mosaicing techniques. High quality mosaicing requires
the application of blending methods to achieve continuous and
artifact-free mosaics. Image blending has a dilated history of over
three decades in the terrestrial and aerial fields. Unfortunately,
the nature of the underwater medium adds additional difficulties
to the mosaicing and blending tasks. In this paper a survey
of the blending methods is given, focusing the attention on
its applicability to underwater mosaicing. Image acquisition
is performed by Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) or
Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) in the deep ocean, a medium
with aggressive light absorption and disrupting scattering effects
that requires of the use of artificial lighting. A comprehensive
comparison of the basic features and limitations of some of the
most important existing blending techniques is presented. The
goal is the generation of seamless and visually pleasant large
area photo-mosaics of the seafloor, free from double contouring,
ghosting and other disturbing and common blending artifacts
