APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PANORAMIC VIDEO STICHING

摘要

Disclosed are an apparatus and method for stitching for a panoramic video, which combine a plurality of video streams, acquired via a plurality of cameras installed on a structure, into a single 360-degree panoramic video at high speed. A method for stitching for a panoramic video according to an aspect of the present invention comprises the steps of: acquiring a plurality of video streams from a plurality of cameras; selecting a reference image frame set, i.e., a set of still image frames photographed at a first time, from the video streams; calculating stitching parameters, including a camera parameter and a color correction coefficient, based on corresponding relationships between feature points extracted from the reference image frame set; and generating a panoramic video by applying the stitching parameters to another image frame set, i.e., a set of still image frames photographed at a second time.
