METHODS, APPARATUSES AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR GENERATING PANORAMIC IMAGES USING DEPTH MAP DATA

摘要

An apparatus for generating a panoramic image(s) may include a processor and memory storing executable computer code causing the apparatus to at least perform operations including generating a panoramic image(s) based on performing registration on at least two images associated with depth map data and determining an overlap region(s) between the two images within first and second items of depth map data. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to label the overlap region(s) within the first or second item of depth map data based on generating a virtual seam(s) connecting portions of the two images to generate a composite image. The portions correspond to image data within first and second items of depth map data. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to blend the seam of the composite image to obtain the panoramic image. Corresponding methods and computer program products are also provided.
