Abstract
A stereographic image associated with a panoramic camera can be identified. The panoramic camera can include of a set of lenses and an image sensor. A pixel degradation curve associated with the image and/or the hardware of the panoramic camera can be determined, as can a sensor geometry of an image sensor used by the panoramic camera. A fixed smoothing function based on the pixel degradation curve and/or the sensor geometry can be created. The fixed smoothing function can be applied to a stereographic image to modify the image so it includes substantially uniform image detail per image region.
