  • Stereoscopic panoramic video capture system using surface identification and distance registration technique
    Patent number: 8581961
    Abstract: A method of interpolating images from original images are disclosed. Interpolation of images is based on the captured images, normal vector of the image segment plane and distance between the camera and the original image. Image segment groups retrieved are selected in order to discard and select only the image segment groups that meet criteria. Further processing of applying a shape change, merging the interpolated images and smoothing of the merged images provide interpolated images for viewing at angle of a virtual camera.
