Abstract

Methods and an apparatus for centering swivel views are disclosed. An example method involves a computing device identifying movement of a pixel location of a 3D object within a sequence of images. Each image of the sequence of images may correspond to a view of the 3D object from a different angular orientation. Based on the identified movement of the pixel location of the 3D object, the computing device may estimate movement parameters of at least one function that describes a location of the 3D object in an individual image. The computing device may also determine for one or more images of the sequence of images a respective modification to the image using the estimated parameters of the at least one function. And the computing device may adjust the pixel location of the 3D object within the one or more images based on the respective modification for the image.
