Abstract

Image stitching is described for multiple camera video by placing seams for objects in the scene. An object of interest is identified within an overlap between two images each from a different adjacent camera of a multiple camera system. An identified object of interest is placed within an identified one of the two images. A seam is placed between the two images so that the object of interest is within the identified image and not within the other of the two images. The two images are joined at the placed seam and the two joined images are rendered as a single image joined at the placed seam.
