Real-Time Spherical Panorama Image Stitching Using OpenCL
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a webcam-based spherical coordinate conversion system using OpenCL massive parallel computing for panorama video image stitching. With multi-core architecture and its high-bandwidth data transmission rate of memory accesses, modern programmable GPU makes it possible to process multiple video images in parallel for real-time interaction. To get a panorama view of 360 degrees, we use OpenCL to stitch multiple webcam video images into a panorama image and texture mapped it to a spherical object to compose a virtual reality immersive environment. The experimental results show that when we use NVIDIA 9600GT to process eight 640×480 images, OpenCL can achieve ninety times speedups.

Image stitching allows users to combine multiple regular-sized photographs into a single wide-angle picture, often referred to as a panoramic picture. To create such a panoramic picture, users traditionally first take all the photographs, then upload them to a PC and stitch. During stitching, however, users often discover that the produced panorama contains artifacts or is incomplete. Fixing th...

A method was presented for combining multiple exposures of the night sky to create a single panorama of the scene. The algorithm is capable of compensating for celestial motion without significant artifacts in the boundaries between the land and the sky. The images are first segmented into land and sky. Next the locations of probable stars in the image are calculated and used to estimate celest...
