Abstract

A method, apparatus and a system multi-camera image processing method. The method includes performing geometric alignment to produce a geometric output by estimating fish eye distortion correction parameters, performing initial perspective correction on related frame, running corner detection in the overlapping areas, locating the stronger corner, calculating BRIEF descriptors for features and match feature point from two cameras using BRIEF scores, performing checks and rejecting wrong feature matches, finding perspective matrices to minimize distance between matched features; and creating a geometric lookup table.
