Generation of Panoramic Images from Video Sequences

by
David Dewey

Multi-perspective panoramas of street scenes can be generated from video taken from a car-mounted camera. We present techniques for creating such panoramas by taking strips from each video frame, stabilizing the images by computing the translations between frames and correcting for jitter, and warping the strips according to optical flow to adjust for motion parallax. We can extend our method to make stereo panoramic images of street scenes by taking strips from different sides of the frames to generate stereo pairs.
