Abstract:
An apparatus comprising a memory and one or more processing circuits is provided. The memory stores a blend table having blend weights. The processing circuits, for partitions of the blend table: determine whether a subset of the pixels associated with the partition includes pixels associated with seamlines defined in a three-dimensional surface representation of the scene. If none of the subset of the pixels are associated with the seamlines, the processing circuits populate a region of the virtual image corresponding to the partition with pixel values from an image captured by one of the plurality of image capture devices. If one or more of the subsets of the pixels is associated with the seamlines, the processing circuits populate the region of the virtual image associated with the partition with blended pixel values from two or more images captured by two or more of the plurality of image capture devices.
