Abstract
The disclosure includes a system and method for stitching image frames. The system includes a processor and a memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the system to: receive image frames that are captured by two or more camera modules at a particular time; interpolate a virtual camera between a first set of camera modules from the two or more camera modules; determine a set of disparity maps between the first set of camera modules; generate, based on the set of disparity maps, a virtual camera image associated with the particular time for the virtual camera from a set of image frames captured by the first set of camera modules at the particular time; and construct a left panoramic image and a right panoramic image associated with the particular time from the image frames captured by the two or more camera modules and the virtual camera image.
