Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: capturing a plurality of images with each camera in a camera array comprising a plurality of cameras, each image comprising at least one portion overlapping with a corresponding portion of a corresponding image; for each image, performing a first warp operation on the image such that each overlapping portion of the image is substantially aligned with the corresponding overlapping portion of the corresponding image; for each image, performing a second warp operation on the image to reduce distortion resulting from the first warp operation, wherein a magnitude of the second warp operation on a portion of the image is based on a distance of the portion to the nearest overlapping portion of the image, and wherein the magnitude of the second warp operation on a first portion is greater than the magnitude of the second warp operation on a second portion closer to an overlapping portion than the first portion; taping each warped image together based on the overlapping portions of the images to form a combined image; and cropping the combined image to produce a rectangular final image.
