Embodiment 1

[0032] This embodiment provides a specific device that can implement the above method. The present embodiment provides a device for collecting stereoscopic panoramic images by using a single camera, including: a card slot, a driving motor, a support frame and an image synthesis unit. The card slot can be rotated on a spherical surface and installed on the supporting frame in a translational manner, and a driving motor is connected with the card slot to drive its rotation and translation. The camera can be installed on the card slot and connected with the image synthesis unit.

[0033] The card slot carries the camera to switch between different shooting angles through rotation, and captures left-view images and right-view images at the same shooting angle through translation. The image synthesizing unit acquires left-view images and right-view images collected by the camera at various shooting angles to synthesize a stereoscopic panoramic image.

[0034] In this embodiment, ...

Embodiment 2

[0036] refer to figure 2 , in this embodiment, the drive motor is connected with a control unit. The control unit is preset with a rotation threshold a and a translation threshold d. The control unit drives the motor to control the card slot to switch the shooting angle every time the angle a is rotated, and switches the vision through translation d at the same shooting angle.

[0037] refer to image 3 Specifically, a shooting path is preset in the control unit, on which the rotation angle a is separated from the translation distance d, and the control unit controls the card slot to move by driving the motor according to the shooting path.

[0038] In this embodiment, the rotation threshold a and the translation threshold d can be controlled and adjusted by the user.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for collecting stereoscopic panoramic images by using a single camera, comprising the following steps: S1, driving the camera to respectively collect left-view images and right-view images at N shooting positions, and the N shooting positions are distributed on the same spherical surface ; S2. Combining the collected N×2 images into a stereoscopic panoramic image. A method for collecting stereoscopic panoramic images using a single camera proposed by the present invention realizes the collection of a single image that can cover the panoramic view when combined by switching the N shooting positions of the single camera on the same spherical surface, which is a panoramic image The synthesis of stereoscopic images has laid the foundation; through the acquisition of left-view images and right-view images through translation at the same shooting angle, it has laid a foundation for the synthesis of stereoscopic images.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of panoramic photography, in particular to a method and device for collecting stereoscopic panoramic images by using a single camera. Background technique [0002] The acquisition of a stereoscopic image can be accomplished by a 3D camera. A 3D camera generally has two cameras, which are used to separately collect two images with parallax, and then fuse the two images together to form a stereoscopic image. Panoramic images are an important form of expression that supports users' immersive multimedia experience. With the development of multimedia technology, the application of panoramic images is becoming more and more extensive. [0003] At present, the shooting of panoramic images often relies on the simultaneous shooting of multiple cameras, and the shooting cost is relatively high. If a stereoscopic panoramic image is taken, more camera equipment is required. For example, the stereoscopic panoramic sh...
