PLANAR PANORAMA IMAGERY GENERATION
First Claim
1. A computer-based method for generating planar panorama imagery, comprising:
- identifying an object region in one or more frames of planar panorama source imagery, the object region comprising a desired object; and
joining one or more portions of the planar panorama source imagery, not comprising the desired object, with the one or more frames comprising the object region, to generate the planar panorama imagery comprising the desired object, at least a portion of the method performed by a processing unit.

Abstract
One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for generating improved planar panorama imagery, which may be used to view street-level, human-scale locations along a desired path, for example. One or more desired objects can be detected in source imagery that may be used to produce the resulting planar panorama imagery. Respective object regions comprising a desired object can be identified in one or more frames of the source imagery. One or more portions of the source imagery that do not comprise the object region for the desired object can be joined with at least some of the one or more frames that do comprise the object region for the desired object. The resulting planar panorama imagery can thus comprise the desired object. Also, the planar panorama imagery can be generated so as to lack one or more non-desired objects and/or adverse effects that may result therefrom.

12. A system for generating planar panorama imagery, comprising:
-
a computer-based processor configured to process data for the system; a desired object detection component, operably coupled with the processor, configured to identify a desired object in one or more frames of planar panorama source imagery; and an image joining component, operably coupled with the desired object detection component, configured to join one or more portions of the planar panorama source imagery, not comprising the desired object, with the one or more frames comprising the desired object, resulting in the planar panorama imagery. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions that when executed via a processor perform a method for generating planar panorama imagery, comprising:
-
identifying an object region in one or more frames of planar panorama source imagery, the object region comprising a desired object; identifying a negative object region in one or more negative frames of the planar panorama source imagery, the negative object region comprising a non-desired object; and joining one or more portions of the planar panorama source imagery with at least some of the one or more frames and at least some of the one or more negative frames in a manner that generates the planar panorama imagery comprising the desired object and not comprising the non-desired object.
