Images subject to panoramic image stitching are analyzed for suitability in three dimensional construction. Effects of translation changes between cameras are mitigated. The dioptric relationship of subject content of the images to the camera set identifies camera translation changes, and eligible camera position inputs, permissible to avoid parallax errors. Images within permissible ranges of each other are stitched to create panoramic images of subject content that a camera cannot fully capture with a single image. Registration plane selection based on translation distances between cameras, and permissible translation changes based on detected subject content depth are disclosed.

Systems and methods for image capture

Disclosed are techniques for generating a photorealistic image by augmenting or compositing at least a portion of a physical structure (e.g., a house) depicted in a two-dimensional (2D) image with synthetic image data. Additionally, disclosed are techniques for augmenting the depicted physical structure and applying a scene effect to the synthetic image data to create a photorealistic effect.

Systems and methods for selective image compositing

Systems and methods are provided for pitch determination. An example method includes obtaining an image depicting a structure, the image being captured via a user device positioned proximate to the structure. The image is segmented to identify, at least, a roof facet of the structure. An eave vector and a rake vector which are associated with the roof facet are determined. A normal vector of the roof facet is calculated based on the eave vector and the rake vector, and compared to a vector indicating a vertical direction such as gravity. The angle made out by the normal and a gravity vector may be utilized to calculate the pitch of the roof facet.

Additionally, disclosed are techniques for augmenting the depicted physical structure using a minimum amount of three-dimensional (3D) geometric data and applying a scene effect to the synthetic image data to create a photorealistic effect.
