Dual-fisheye lens stitching for 360-degree imaging

摘要

Dual-fisheye lens cameras have been increasingly used for 360-degreeimmersive imaging. However, the limited overlapping field of views andmisalignment between the two lenses give rise to visible discontinuities in thestitching boundaries. This paper introduces a novel method for dual-fisheyecamera stitching that adaptively minimizes the discontinuities in theoverlapping regions to generate full spherical 360-degree images. Results showthat this approach can produce good quality stitched images for Samsung Gear360 -- a dual-fisheye camera, even with hard-to-stitch objects in the stitchingborders.
