Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer program product for generating a seamless and error-free panorama image using a selective set of views from a multi-view image from each of the several captured light field (LF) images. The method identifies the view and corresponding image for each captured LF image which has the same or closely located center of projection with the views of neighboring LF images. Image registration and warping techniques are applied across the images and the parallax error is calculated which indicates the closeness of their center of projections. The view from each LF captured image with minimal parallax error is selected and stitched together with the other views identified as having minimal parallax error.
