This tutorial reviews image alignment and image stitching algorithms. Image alignment
algorithms can discover the correspondence relationships among images with varying …

Panoramic imaging has important implications in robotics, computer vision and virtual
reality. This paper reviews representative work in the design and development of 2D/3D …

Humans perceive the three-dimensional structure of the world with apparent ease. However,
despite all of the recent advances in computer vision research, the dream of having a …

We introduce a method to convert stereo 360^ ∘ (omnidirectional stereo) imagery into a
layered, multi-sphere image representation for six degree-of-freedom (6DoF) rendering …

We present Jump, a practical system for capturing high resolution, omnidirectional stereo
(ODS) video suitable for wide scale consumption in currently available virtual reality (VR) …

This survey is mainly motivated by the increased availability and use of panoramic image
acquisition devices, in computer vision and various of its applications. Different technologies …

Image mosaicing is the alignment of multiple images into larger compositions which
represent portions of a 3D scene. The mosaicing methods described in this chapter are …

While the study of geometry has mainly concentrated on single viewpoint (SVP) cameras,
there is growing attention to more general non-SVP systems. Here, we study an important …

We present an algorithm that enables casual 3D photography. Given a set of input photos
captured with a hand-held cell phone or DSLR camera, our algorithm reconstructs a 3D …

Virtual reality headsets are becoming increasingly popular, yet it remains difficult for casual
users to capture immersive 360° VR panoramas. State-of-the-art approaches require …
