Abstract

In this paper, we present technical advances that were made increating consumer level video mosaicing applications with inputsfrom hand held inexpensive cameras, and with near-real time response.In developing the VideoBrushTMtechnologies, the goalwas to give easily usable but robust video mosaicing capabilitiesin the hands of lay users. We highlight a number of problems thatneeded to be solved to enable this: 2D & 1D modes of scene scanningand alignment, progressive complexity of alignment models toprovide real-time response to the user, and multi-resolution blendingfor high quality mosaic output. The solution to these key technicalchallenges has led us to video mosaic technologies that can"scan" scenes as diverse as natural panoramic scenes to whiteboards and documents.
