Abstract
A video capture device may include multiple cameras that simultaneously capture video data. The video capture device and/or one or more remote computing resources may stitch the video data captured by the multiple cameras to generate stitched video data that corresponds to 360° video. The remote computing resources may apply one or more algorithms to the stitched video data to adjust the color characteristics of the stitched video data, such as lighting, exposure, white balance contrast, and saturation. The remote computing resources may further smooth the transition between the video data captured by the multiple cameras to reduce artifacts such as abrupt changes in color as a result of the individual cameras of the video capture device having different video capture settings. The video capture device and/or the remote computing resources may generate a panoramic video that may include up to a 360° field of view.
