Abstract

Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for generating stitched video data by combining video data from multiple image capture devices. For example, video data from a first image capture device and a second image capture device located near the first image capture device may be combined to generate unique panoramas. The system may determine transitions between the video data based on a focus distance to improve the stitched video data. The system may remove individual objects from first video data by substituting corresponding portions of second image data. The system may determine depth information associated with a first object represented in the video data and may add additional objects in front of or behind the first object, properly scaling and masking the additional object. The system may generate a virtual environment by weighting images from individual image capture devices and the virtual environment may be three dimensional.
