Abstract :
We explain how camera pans and zooms in digital video can be used to create a panoramic view of a video clip reordering the frames. As the view will normally be too large to be displayed on a single screen we propose the use of a grid where the user can move a virtual camera in different directions which are defined by camera pans as well as by camera zooms. To achieve this goal we explain in detail the architecture of our virtual camera
