Claim One:
1. A method for generating planar panorama imagery, comprising: analyzing a first frame of planar panorama source imagery to identify objects within the first frame, the analysis comprising: comparing characteristics of the objects identified within the first frame to characteristics of a first type of object to classify a first object within the first frame corresponding to the first type of object; and comparing characteristics of the 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; analyzing a second frame of the planar panorama source imagery to identify objects within the second frame, the analysis comprising: comparing characteristics of the 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; receiving an indication that the first object type has a higher prioritization than the second object type; 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; selecting the second frame, but not the first frame, for use in the planar panorama imagery based on the prioritization and the determination that the second object overlaps the first object in the first frame; and generating the planar panorama imagery with at least the second frame, but not the first frame.
