PANORAMIC IMAGE-BASED VIRTUAL REALITY/TELEPRESENCE AUDIO-VISUAL SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A panoramic system generally employs a panoramic input component, a processing component, and a panoramic display component. The panoramic input component a panoramic sensor assembly and/or image selectors that can be used on an individual or network basis. The processing component provides various applications such as video capture/control, image stabilization, target/feature selection, image stitching, image mosaicing, 3-D modeling/texture mapping, perspective/distortion correction and interactive game control. The panoramic display component can be embodied as a head mounted display device or system, a portable device, or a room.
