  • Image stitching using geometry-based image orientation
    Patent number: 11373300
    Abstract: Within a first image in a set of images comprising a panoramic view of a scene, a first boundary feature is identified using a model. Within the first boundary feature, a first set of points is selected. Within a second image in the set of images, a second boundary feature is identified using the model. Within the second boundary feature, a second set of points is selected. A set of parameters of a geometrical shape including the first set of points and the second set of points is determined. From the first image and the second image, a panoramic image is formed, the first image placed within the panoramic image according to the position of the first image on the geometrical shape, the second image placed in the panoramic image according to the position of the second image on the geometrical shape.
