Device and method rapid capturing panoramic view image

Abstract

The invention discloses a rapid shooting equipment and method of panoramic image and panoramic image sequence in the mobile course, which comprises the following parts: plural image gathering devices, synchronous control system and panoramic image processing working station, wherein the plural image gathering devices are fixed on the same level with imaging point approximately superposed at center of circle of the same arc. The method comprises the following steps: proceeding 360 deg synchronous shooting for all-round of certain point or multiple points on the moving line in the mobile course continuously; disposing the shot image to obtain the panoramic image or continuous panoramic image sequence. The invention solves the real-time capture defect of traditional panoramic shooting pattern in the mobile course, which reduces the difficulty of image for split joint during after-treatment course and improves the efficiency greatly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an image shooting device and a shooting method. In particular, it is a brand-new fast acquisition device and method for panoramic images or continuous panoramic image sequences. The device and method can be used for fast collection of a single panorama or large-scale collection of continuous panorama sequences. technical background [0002] A 3D panorama is an image that contains 360° complete information. Through computer monitors and other display devices, viewers feel as if they are there, and can watch any corner of the 360° scene through their own operations. The traditional panoramic shooting method is to use a camera to shoot at a fixed point. When shooting, a special pan-tilt is used to fix the camera, and multiple photos with overlapping areas are obtained by rotating a certain angle for multiple times, and then these photos are stitched into a complete panorama. This method has a number of flaws: [0003] 1. The s...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] 1. The process of shooting and post-processing is complex, such as finding camera nodes, debugging the gimbal, image processing for stitching defects, etc.

Professional photographers are required for shooting, and professional artists are also required for stitching and retouching photos in the later stage

[0004] 2. When shooting scenes with large changes, the integrity of the obtained results cannot be guaranteed

Therefore, if objects in the scene, such as pedestrians, vehicles, etc., move during the shooting process, especially if the objects in the overlapping areas of adjacent photos change, the photos will not be able to be stitched into a panorama or the stitched panorama image will have defects

[0005] Since the above-mentioned traditional method needs to fix the point and then rotate the camera to shoot multiple times, it is required that the position of the camera itself cannot change during the shooting process, otherwise the obtained photos cannot be stitched together

Therefore, the traditional method cannot shoot while moving, and cannot continuously obtain a continuous sequence of panoramic images while moving

[0006] The above-mentioned traditional equipment is inefficient and time-consuming when shooting panoramas, and is not suitable for complete and high-density shooting of large-scale scenes (such as every street in a city)

[0007] Due to the problems of the above-mentioned traditional equipment, the imaging points of each digital camera (or video camera) are too far apart, so even if the images can be taken equally, and even if there is the same scene in the images taken, the images taken cannot be seamlessly Flatten to get a panorama

[0008] In addition, there are multiple cameras or video cameras for monitoring or for stereo photography, etc., but not for shooting panoramic images.

[0009] To sum up, due to the above-mentioned defects in the traditional panoramic shooting method, its application can only be limited to limited fields such as real estate and venue display, so it cannot meet the needs of obtaining a wider range and quantity of panoramas
