Authoring and Visualizing Stereo Panoramic Images with Independent Objects

Abstract

Object embedded stereo panoramic images have received increasing attention recently due to their numerous applications in computer vision. This article explores an approach to embed object images, both dynamic and static, into background panoramas. The approach involves three steps; namely, image acquisition, post-acquisition, and image visualization. A GUI tool is developed for image registering, merging, and pose recovering. A panoramic player is also developed for visualizing the resultant anaglyphic panorama.
