Patent attributes
Panoramic imaging systems and techniques are disclosed. In one aspect, a technique for generating a stabilized panoramic video image output based on raw image data captured by a panoramic imaging system includes the steps of: receiving raw video images capturing by the panoramic imaging system which is integrated with a set of position sensors; receiving multiple sets of sensor signals acquired by the set of position sensors concurrently when the raw video images are being captured; processing the multiple sets of sensor signals to determine unwanted position changes of the panoramic imaging system when the raw video images are being capturing; and performing an image stabilization operation on the received raw video images to compensate for the effects of the unwanted position changes, thereby generating stabilized panoramic video images based on the raw video images.
