Abstract
Systems and methods for stitching videos are disclosed. Image-based registration between frames from a first video source and frames from a second video source is performed at a first rate. Calibration-based registration between frames from the first video source and frames from the second video source are performed at a second rate higher than the first rate. Then, for a first frame from the first video source for which calibration-based registration data and image-based registration data have been generated, a stitching transform that maps the first frame to a counterpart frame from the second video source based on image-based registration data is generated. A delta transform from the image-based registration data and the calibration-based registration data at the first frame is also derived. For a subsequent frame from the first video source for which calibration-based registration data have been generated, but no image-based registration data have been generated, a stitching transform that maps the subsequent frame to a counterpart frame from the second video source based on the calibration-based registration data and the delta transform is generated. Frames from the first vide…
