Warping Peirce Quincuncial Panoramas
نویسنده
چکیده
The Peirce quincuncial projection is a mapping of the surface of a sphere to the interior of a square. It is a conformal mapping except for four points on the equator. These points of non-conformality cause significant artifacts in photographic applications. In this paper, we propose an algorithm and userinterface to mitigate these artifacts. Moreover, in order to facilitate an interactive user-interface, we present a fast algorithm for calculating the Peirce quincuncial projection. We then promote the Peirce quincuncial projection as a viable alternative to the more popular stereographic projection in reprojected panoramas.

Computing Visibility for Triangulated Panoramas
A visibility algorithm for triangulated panoramas is proposed. The algorithm can correctly resolve the visibility without making use of any depth information. It is especially useful when depth information is not available, such as in the case of real-world photographs. Based on the optical flow information and the image intensity, the panorama is subdivided into variable-sized triangles, image...
متن کاملHigh Resolution Starry Night Panoramas
A method was presented for combining multiple exposures of the night sky to create a single panorama of the scene. The algorithm is capable of compensating for celestial motion without significant artifacts in the boundaries between the land and the sky. The images are first segmented into land and sky. Next the locations of probable stars in the image are calculated and used to estimate celest...
متن کاملCylindrical Relief Textures Mapping
This paper describes a new Image Based Rendering technique aimed at increasing the realism of textured cylindrical surfaces by adding 3D details and enhancing the depth conceived by the viewer. Cylindrical relief texture mapping extends the existing work on planar relief textures by using cylinders as warp surfaces. After mapping the planar relief texture to a reference cylinder, cylindrical wa...
متن کاملA Unified Framework for Street-View Panorama Stitching
In this paper, we propose a unified framework to generate a pleasant and high-quality street-view panorama by stitching multiple panoramic images captured from the cameras mounted on the mobile platform. Our proposed framework is comprised of four major steps: image warping, color correction, optimal seam line detection and image blending. Since the input images are captured without a precisely...
متن کاملHardware-Assisted Rendering of Cylindrical Panoramas
Cylindrical panorama is being used in many applications. Cylindrical panoramic viewers render the panorama from the center of the cylinder by projecting the cylindrical map onto a planar screen. This process involves nonlinear image warping, so many panoramic viewers are implemented in software. Hardware acceleration may be used if the panorama is resampled onto the polygonal models. This paper...
