Abstract:
Multiple images may be combined to obtain a composite image. Individual images may be obtained with different camera sensors and/or at different time instances. In order to obtain the composite image source images may be aligned in order to produce a seamless stitch. Source images may be characterized by a region of overlap. A disparity measure may be determined for pixels along a border region between the source images. A warp transformation may be determined using a refinement process configured to determine displacement of pixels of the border region based on the disparity. Pixel displacement at a given location may be constrained to direction configured tangential to an epipolar line corresponding to the location. The warp transformation may be propagated to pixels of the image. Spatial and/or temporal smoothing may be applied. In order to obtain refined solution, the warp transformation may be determined at multiple spatial scales.

Claim (Index 1):
A system that obtains a composite image, the system comprising:\n one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:\n obtain source images, the source images including a first source image and a second source image; \n identify overlapping portions of the source images, such overlapping portions including a first portion of the first source image and a second portion of the second source image; \n obtain a disparity measure based on an evaluation of one or more pixels within the first portion of the first source image and one or more pixels within the second portion of the second source image; \n apply a transformation operation to one or more pixels within the overlapping portions of the source images to generate transformed source images, the transformation operation configured to displace the one or more pixels to reduce the disparity measure and determined based on a discrete refinement; and \n obtain the composite image based on the transformed source images.
