Abstract: The invention relates to a method comprising obtaining a desired field of view (FOV) for an image arranged to be captured, determining a required field of view (r_fov) of the FOV for each active camera sensor of a camera array having a field of view (fov), comparing the r_fov and the fov, and determining a bend angle between adjacent camera sensors to achieve the FOV by camera sensors of the camera sensor array, if the r_fov is less than or equal to the fov. The invention further relates to an apparatus, a system and a computer program product that perform the method.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided in order to provide directional viewing in panoramic video content. In the context of a method, the method includes determining, using a processor, a baseline instantaneous dominant heading for segments in panoramic video content. The method further includes determining a viewing preference indication and causing a view of the panoramic video content to be provided for display based on the determined viewing preference indication and the baseline instantaneous dominant heading. A corresponding apparatus and a computer program product are also provided.

Abstract: An approach is provided for splicing video segments based on media capture device pose information. The splicing platform may determine at least one first media frame and at least one second media frame. Then, the splicing platform may determine pose information of or at least one media capture device that captured the at least one first media frame, that lest one second media frame, or a combination thereof. Lastly, the splicing platform may process and/or facilitate a processing of the pose information to determine one or more intermediate media frames for insertion between the at least one first media frame and the at least one second media frame.

Abstract: An approach is provided for processing of at least one preview image presented at at least one device to cause, at least in part, an extraction of camera pose information associated with the at least one preview image. The approach also involves determining one or more movement interactions of the at least one device relative to the camera pose information to cause, at least in part, a specification of requested camera pose information. The approach further involves causing, at least in part, a generation of at least one request to capture at least one media item based, at least in part, on the requested camera pose information.

Abstract: An approach is provided for processing and/or facilitating a processing of one or more images to determine camera location information, camera pose information, or a combination thereof associated with at least one camera capturing the one or more images, wherein the camera location information, the camera pose information, or a combination thereof is represented according to a global coordinate system. The approach involves causing, at least in part, an association of the camera location information, the camera pose information, or a combination thereof with the one or more images as meta-data information.
