Patent Images

1. A method performed by a processing system, the method comprising:

  • receiving a sequence of frames, each frame comprising a sequence of at least two images, each image at a different image position in the sequence and each pair of adjacent images having an overlap region;

    determining a local alignment value for the images of each pair of adjacent image positions of selected frames based on minimizing a difference of a desired parameter between the images in the overlap region;

    determining global alignment values for all images at corresponding pairs of adjacent image positions of each frame based on the local alignment values for the images at the corresponding pair of adjacent image positions of the selected frames; and

    applying each global alignment value to at least one of the images of the corresponding pair of adjacent image positions of each frame.
