  • Patent number: 11233944
    Abstract: Provided in the present invention are a method for achieving a bullet time capturing effect and a panoramic camera. The method comprises: acquiring a panoramic video captured when a panoramic camera rotates around a capture target; acquiring from within the panoramic video hemispherical images close to the side of the capture target; splicing the hemispherical images to generate a spliced image; and fixing a viewpoint of the spliced image, thus achieving a bullet time capturing effect. According to the present invention, only one panoramic camera is needed to be able to capture the bullet time capturing effect, so that the capturing cost of the bullet time capturing effect in the present invention is low. Meanwhile, since the bullet time capturing effect is obtained by means of a panoramic video being captured when a panoramic camera rotates around a capture target and processing being carried out on the panoramic video, the precision is high.
