Mobile Panoramic Imaging System

We introduce a mobile system for creating highresolution
panoramic images. The user can rotate the camera
around an arbitrary axis to create a 2D sweep and see a
miniature preview panorama in real-time. The system tracks
camera motion and automatically captures high-resolution
images and generates a high-quality wide-view panoramic
image. We employ a coarse-to-fine method for high-quality
registration, and a seam-finding method to remove ghosting
effects due to moving objects. The proposed system has been
tested on several 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.
