Panoramic video generation system with background and foreground stitching
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240029386A1) describes a video communication system designed to interface with multiple video cameras to receive video signals. The system includes a frame extractor module to extract video frames, a panoramic video generation module to select the best camera angle for foreground subjects, and a background module to generate background seam masks. These masks are used to stitch together video frames, creating a panoramic video frame. The system also includes a transmitter module to transmit the panoramic video frame to a receiver module.
Furthermore, the patent application outlines a method for generating panoramic videos by processing video signals from multiple cameras. The method involves selecting a dominant camera angle, generating seam masks for stitching video frames, and combining background seam masks with operative seam masks. By executing these operations for each new video frame, a panoramic video frame is created by removing specific areas using the combined masks. The method also includes processing video frames through a graph cut procedure and overlapping frames based on their z-order to enhance the panoramic video quality. Overall, the patent application details a comprehensive system and method for generating high-quality panoramic videos using multiple video cameras.
