1. A method for flare compensation in images, comprising:
obtaining a dark corner intensity differences profile between a first image and a second image based on a relative illumination of an area outside a first image circle of the first image and a second image circle of the second image, wherein the dark corner intensity differences profile is obtained for a luminance (Y) component;
obtaining a flare profile using an intensity differences profile and the dark corner intensity differences profile, wherein the flare profile is for the Y component, and wherein the intensity differences profile is obtained for the Y component along a stitch line between the first image and the second image;
converting the flare profile of the Y component to an RGB flare profile; and
modifying the first image based on the RGB flare profile to obtain a processed first image.
