ANNULAR VIEW FOR PANORAMA IMAGE

摘要

A device (300) for displaying panoramic images includes an image sensor (315), a panoramic display module (345) and a display (325). The display (110, 200) displays an annular panorama view (120, 210). The annular view (120, 210) may be an incomplete annulus for illustrating a missing view angle (126) from an incomplete panoramic image. The display (200) further includes a window (220) and a high resolution display portion (240). The window (220) bounds a portion (230) of the annular view (210). The high resolution display portion (240) displays a high resolution image corresponding to the portion (230) of the annular view (210). The window (220) is movable around the annular view (210). A size of the window (220) or the high resolution display portion (240) is adjustable. A method for generating a panoramic image is also provided.
