Creating composite images based on image capture device poses corresponding to captured images

摘要

An exemplary method for creating a composite image includes the steps of capturing a plurality of images with an image capture device which includes a sensor, determining an image capture device pose corresponding to each of the images based on data from the sensor, transforming each of the images based on its corresponding pose, projecting the transformed images to a common projection space, and combining the projected images to form a composite image.

1. A method for creating a composite image based on a plurality of images captured at different poses, comprising:
capturing a plurality of images with a single image capture device from a substantially stationary location, said image capture device including a sensor to obtain a magnitude and a direction of corresponding instantaneous acceleration forces acting on said image capture device upon capturing each of said images from the substantially stationary location; determining a pose of said image capture device corresponding to each of said images captured from the substantially stationary location based on acceleration data corresponding to said instantaneous acceleration forces from said sensor; transforming each of said captured images based on a corresponding pose of said image capture device to account for changes in pose of said image capture device for each of said captured images; projecting said transformed images to a common projection space; and combining said projected images to form a composite image.
