Abstract

We introduce a mobile system for high resolution panoramic image creation. In our system the user can rotate the camera arbitrarily and see the preview panorama in real-time. The system automatically captures high resolution images and generates a high-quality result with unlimited viewing angle. We employ a coarse-to-fine method for high-quality registration, and a seam-finding method to remove the ghosting effect due to moving objects. The proposed system has been tested on several types of camera phones, and the tests reveal that the system can efficiently provide a high-quality panoramic image in spite of the low computational power and memory available in such devices.
