Abstract:
1. A system for making a panoramic print comprising: a first image capture device for capturing a first image; defining a first overlap region adjacent a first edge of the first image; capturing a second image with the first image capture or a second image capture device; defining a second overlap region adjacent to a first edge of the second image; identifying at least two points in an area containing variable image content in the first overlap region; extracting information from each of the two points in the first overlap region; defining a first vector in the first overlap region connecting the two points in the first overlap region; locating two points in the second overlap region which correspond to the two points in the first overlap region; defining a second vector in the second overlap region connecting the two points in the second overlap region; determining if a first plurality of points in the first vector matches a second plurality of points in the second vector; if the first plurality of points in the first vector matches the second plurality of points in the second vector, determine if the first and second vectors are parallel; if the first and second vectors are not parallel, determine an angle of rotation required to make the second vector parallel to the first vector; adjusting a speed of an image writer so that the first and the second vector are parallel in a print; and printing a panoramic image.
