  • Patent number: 10460459
    Abstract: A method of stitching frames captured at multiple viewing angles comprising: receiving a set of frames captured by imagers, identifying in each of pairs of neighboring frames, each neighboring frame is captured about the same time as the other from an imager having an overlapping field of view with another. For each overlapping area a center connecting axis connecting between centers of respective the pair of neighboring frames is identified, a motion gradient for each frame of the pair of neighboring frames is calculated, pixels of the pair of neighboring frames in the at least one overlapping area are adapted based on corresponding values from the motion gradient along the center connecting axis, the pair of adapted neighboring frames into a panoramic frame which at least partly imaging an environment surrounding the common center is stitched.

  • Patent number: 10373362
    Abstract: There is provided a method of processing digital images associated with a parallax shift for creation of a digital panoramic image, comprising: computing a respective depth map storing values denoting distances to regions of a scene, for each camera located at a respective first position, capturing a respective image by each camera, virtually rotating each camera to second positions at respective angles computed according to a certain region of the image relative to the center point of the camera, mapping between each respective region of the image associated with each respective second position and a corresponding region of the respective depth map computed for the respective camera, and adjusting intensity values of pixels of the regions of each image according to corresponding distance values of the mapped regions of the depth map of the respective camera, to create a plurality of adjusted images for creation of the panoramic image.

  • Publication number: 20190019299
    Abstract: A method of creating a panoramic frame by combining frames along an irregular line identified in an overlapping depicted in the frames. The method comprises identifying an overlap between content documented in a first frame portion of a first frame and content documented in a second frame portion of a second frame, segmenting a plurality of objects in the first frame portion, identifying boundaries of the plurality of objects, identifying an irregular line path connecting between two opposing sides of the first frame portion along at least some of the boundaries of at least some of the plurality of objects, and stitching the first frame and second frame along the irregular line path in the process of creating a panoramic frame.
