Abstract
A computer-implemented method for performing stitching of images to form a panoramic video stream is disclosed. The method comprises capturing images with a camera; and selectively switching between first and second modes of operation wherein corresponding to said first mode at least some of the captured images are sent to circuitry of the camera for performance of a stitching operation to stitch together the images to form a panoramic video stream and wherein corresponding to the second mode at least some of the captured images are transmitted over a network to an image optimization server provisioned in a cloud for performance of said stitching operation.
