Abstract
Aspects of this disclosure relate to generating a composite image of an image of and another image that has a wider field of view. After an image is selected, the visual features in the image may be identified. Several images, such as panoramas, which have wider fields of view than an image captured by a camera, may be selected according to a comparison of the visual features in the image and the visual features of the larger images. The image may be aligned with each of the larger images, and at least one of these smaller-larger image pairs may be generated as a composite image.
