    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for circular stitching of images. For example, methods may include accessing a first image captured using a first image sensor; accessing a second image captured using a second image sensor; determining a cost table for a circular stitching boundary that includes overlapping regions of the first image and the second image; determining an extended disparity profile based on a periodic extension of the cost table and a smoothness criterion, wherein the extended disparity profile has a length greater than the width of the cost table; determining a binocular disparity profile of a length equal to the width of the cost table based on a contiguous subsequence of the extended disparity profile; and stitching the first image and the second image using the binocular disparity profile to obtain a combined image.

    Abstract: An image registration method and apparatus, an electronic apparatus, and a storage medium are provided. The image registration method comprises: extracting edge pixels of the binocular image, and determining high-confidence parallax points in the edge pixels and parallax; projecting each non-high-confidence parallax point to the triangular mesh in a direction parallel with a parallax dimension to obtain a triangular face; determining a parallax search range of parallax of each non-high-confidence parallax point, calculating a matching cost corresponding to all parallax in each parallax search range, and determining that parallax with the smallest matching cost is the parallax of the corresponding non-high-confidence parallax point; and determining a depth boundary point in the edge pixels, determining a parallax boundary point of each depth boundary point in a target direction, and setting parallax of pixels between the depth boundary point and the parallax boundary point to a target value.

    Abstract: A method of generating a 3D reconstruction of a scene, the scene comprising a plurality of cameras positioned around the scene, comprises: obtaining the extrinsics and intrinsics of a virtual camera within a scene; accessing a data structure so as to determine a camera pair that is to be used in reconstructing the scene from the viewpoint of the virtual camera; wherein the data structure defines a voxel representation of the scene, the voxel representation comprising a plurality of voxels, at least some of the voxel surfaces being associated with respective camera pair identifiers; wherein each camera pair identifier associated with a respective voxel surface corresponds to a camera pair that has been identified as being suitable for obtaining depth data for the part of the scene within that voxel and for which the averaged pose of the camera pair is oriented towards the voxel surface; identifying, based on the obtained extrinsics and intrinsics of the virtual camera, at least one voxel that is within the field of view of the virtual camera and a corresponding voxel surface that is oriented towards the virtual camera; identifying, based on the accessed data structure, at least one camera pair that is suitable for reconstructing the scene from the viewpoint of the virtual camera, and generating a reconstruction of the scene from the viewpoint of the virtual camera based on the images captured by the cameras in the identified at least one camera pair.
