Construction of Whole View Image by Synthesizing Landscape Images

Abstract

In this paper, we make some experiments to construct a kind of super-panoramic view image, whole view image, by synthesizing photographs in the different directions taken by plural cameras. In general, photographs have some distortions. The most critical distortions in this experiments is that of projecting images to exposure plane. We take an approach to allocate the pictures to a virtual sphere by projecting digital images and synthesize them. Each picutres have different lightness originated by the brightness of each direction. We apply three oprations, brightness revision, brightness matching and edge fusion, to reduct unevenness of the constructed image.
