Claim:
1. A method of generating at least a first panoramic picture and a second panoramic picture based on a series of frames acquired by one frame acquisition device while the device is panned in a main direction, the method comprising: computing via the device, a global motion value and a perspective transform for each pair of consecutive frames of the series, said global motion value reflecting a displacement in the main direction between the frames of the pair of frames and said perspective transform reflecting a perspective change between the frames of the pair of frames; for each frame of the series, determining via the device, a first area of the frame for the first panoramic picture and a second area of the frame, distinct from the first area, for the second panoramic picture; and when a current frame of the series of frames is acquired: wherein the first and second areas are respectively a first strip and a second strip that are extending in a direction perpendicular to the main direction, centers of said first and second strips being located at constant positions in the frames and being separated by a constant distance from one frame to the other, wherein the method further comprises
