A system and machine-implemented method of generating panoramic digital representation of an area are provided. A first image and a second image are acquired by a first camera and a second camera of an imaging system, respectively. A coordinate transformation of the first image and the second image to image is performed to generate a first projected image and a second projected image. The first projected image and the second projected image are compared to generate a first aligned image and a second aligned image. An area of difference between the first aligned image and the second aligned image is identified. Whether the identified area of difference includes image data of an obstructing object in a close range within the imaging system is determined. Image data of the obstructing object from the first aligned image is removed, thereby generating a panoramic digital representation of the area.
