Abstract
An authoring system is proposed to construct panoramic images of real-world scenes from video clips automatically. Instead of using special hardware such as fish-eye lens, our method is less hardware-intensive and more flexible to capture real-world scenes without loss of efficiency. Unlike current panoramic stitching methods, where users need to select a set of images before constructing a panoramic image, our system will choose essential frames and stitch them together automatically in 16 seconds on a Pentium-II PC. In addition to popular image-based VR data formats, we also output the panoramic images in VRML97 format. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 1998.
