    Abstract: A method of multi-view scene flow stitching includes capture of imagery from a three-dimensional (3D) scene by a plurality of cameras and stitching together captured imagery to generate virtual reality video that is both 360-degree panoramic and stereoscopic. The plurality of cameras capture sequences of video frames, with each camera providing a different viewpoint of the 3D scene. Each image pixel of the sequences of video frames is projected into 3D space to generate a plurality of 3D points. By optimizing for a set of synchronization parameters, stereoscopic image pairs may be generated for synthesizing views from any viewpoint. In some embodiments, the set of synchronization parameters includes a depth map for each of the plurality of video frames, a plurality of motion vectors representing movement of each one of the plurality of 3D points in 3D space over a period of time, and a set of time calibration parameters.
