Image mosaicing responsive to camera ego motion
First Claim
1. A method of generating a mosaic from a plurality of camera images of a scene acquired by a camera moving relative to the scene, the method comprising:
- associating with each camera image a value of at least one variable so that the variable is a substantially a linear function of a spatial coordinate that defines the locations of the camera at which it acquires the images by requiring that a coordinate of pixels in the camera images that image a same feature in the scene is substantially a linear function of the variable; and
generating the mosaic responsive to the at least one variable.
