Abstract
Devices, systems and methods are disclosed that detect and mask visual artifacts in image and video data. Such artifacts may result from stitching segments of images from two different cameras due to the parallax effect. In this respect, stitching errors may be determined and compared to a threshold to decide whether an area results in an undesirable artifact that should be masked. Such artifacts may then be masked with various graphical elements such as artistic type objects/images to provide a pleasant looking image to a viewer.
