Abstract
The present invention provides a horizontal calibration method and system for a panoramic image or video, and a portable terminal. The method comprises: receiving images or video frames of two circles after being imaged by two cameras having opposite photographing directions; obtaining a horizontal calibration matrix during photographing; and pasting, according to the horizontal calibration matrix, the images or video frames of the two circles to a left hemispherical curved surface and a right hemispherical curved surface of a spherical panoramic mathematical model in a UV mapping manner, respectively so that the panoramic images or video frames pasted in the spherical panoramic mathematical model are horizontal. According to the present invention, when an image or a video frame photographed by a panoramic camera is not horizontal, the panoramic image or the video frame pasted in a spherical panoramic mathematical model is still horizontal.
