Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: computing a starting point and an ending point for an image seam as defined by an intersection of a rectangle bounding a first image and a rectangle bounding a second image, wherein the image seam defines an intersection of one or more feature points in the first image and one or more feature points in the second image; determining whether the starting point and the ending point for the image seam are final points based on a determined mask region; refining the starting point and the ending point by using an intersection of a mask image of the first image and a mask image of the second image in an instance in which it is determined that the starting point and the ending point are not final points; and computing a seam direction and one or more seam points using the starting point and the ending point.
