Abstract: A method for generating a panoramic image using an electronic device is provided. The method includes obtaining a scene preview with an optimal wider view using a camera sensor(s) of the electronic device. The method includes analyzing the obtained scene preview to recommend an optimal traversal path. Further, the method includes capturing a plurality of frames using the optimal traversal path to generate the panoramic image. Further, the method includes storing the generated panoramic image.
