Claim One:
1. A method for generating planar panorama imagery, comprising: inputting a first frame of planar panorama source imagery into a plurality of object detectors, comprising: comparing, by a first object detector of the plurality of object detectors, characteristics of objects identified within the first frame to characteristics of a first type of object to identify a first object within the first frame corresponding to the first type of object; and comparing, by a second object detector of the plurality of object detectors, characteristics of objects identified within the first frame to characteristics of a second type of object to identify a second object within the first frame corresponding to the second type of object; inputting a second frame of the planar panorama source imagery into the plurality of object detectors, comprising: comparing, by the first object detector of the plurality of object detectors, characteristics of objects identified within the second frame to characteristics of the first type of object to identify the first object within the second frame corresponding to the first type of object; determining that the second object overlaps the first object in the first frame and that the second object does not overlap the first object in the second frame; and selecting the second frame, but not the first frame, for use in the planar panorama imagery responsive to the determining when a first prioritization associated with the first object is higher than a second prioritization associated with the second object.
