Patent attributes
The present application discloses a panoramic camera and a shooting method thereof, the panoramic camera includes: N sub-cameras, a synchronization control module, a stitching and correcting module, configured for caching successive m rows of pixel values in the shot image in a sliding window manner, and correcting the pixel values according to a preset correction table and the cached m-row pixel values, and sequentially outputting the corrected pixel values of each row, wherein m is greater than the sum of a preset maximum number of distortion rows and 2, and m is smaller than the total number of rows of the shot image; a stitching fusion module, configured for stitching the corrected images into a stitched image according to the overlapping portions of the images shot by the sub-cameras, wherein the images are shot synchronously by the sub-cameras under the control of the synchronization control module; and a transmission module. The panoramic camera of the present application has better processing efficiency, better processing quality, and is more advantageous for system design miniaturization.
