    Abstract: In various examples, dynamic seam placement is used to position seams in regions of overlapping image data to avoid crossing salient objects or regions. Objects may be detected from image frames representing overlapping views of an environment surrounding an ego-object such as a vehicle. The images may be aligned to create an aligned composite image or surface (e.g., a panorama, a 360° image, bowl shaped surface) with regions of overlapping image data, and a representation of the detected objects and/or salient regions (e.g., a saliency mask) may be generated and projected onto the aligned composite image or surface. Seams may be positioned in the overlapping regions to avoid or minimize crossing salient pixels represented in the projected masks, and the image data may be blended at the seams to create a stitched image or surface (e.g., a stitched panorama, stitched 360° image, stitched textured surface).
