Fast image stitching and editing for panorama painting on mobile phones

We propose a fast image stitching and editing approach for panorama painting and have implemented it on a mobile phone. A seam search using dynamic programming finds a good boundary along which to merge the source images, and a transition smoothing process using instant image cloning removes merging artifacts, yielding highquality panoramic images. A sequential image stitching procedure requires only keeping the current source image in memory during image stitching, which saves memory and is more suitable to mobile phone implementations.
