Abstract
An embodiment method for computationally adjusting images from a multi-camera system includes receiving calibrated image sequences, with each of the calibrated image sequences corresponding to a camera in a camera array and having one or more image frames. A target camera model is computed for each camera in the camera array and according to target camera poses or target camera intrinsic matrices for the respective camera. The computing generates a transformation matrix for each of the one or more first cameras. The transformation matrix for each of the one or more first cameras is applied to the calibrated image sequence corresponding to the respective camera. The transformation matrix warps each image frame of the calibrated image sequence and generates target image sequences.
