Abstract
A method and an electronic apparatus for stitching a three-dimensional spherical panorama are provided. The method includes: obtaining a first image and a second image; projecting the first and seconds image onto a virtual spherical plane to form a first equirectangular panorama and a second equirectangular panorama; duplicating the first equirectangular panorama to generate a third equirectangular panorama, and duplicating the second equirectangular panorama to generate a fourth equirectangular panorama; performing image enhancement on the third and fourth equirectangular panoramas to generate a first enhanced equirectangular panorama and a second enhanced equirectangular panorama; calculating an optical flow for the first and second enhanced equirectangular panoramas; generating the three-dimensional spherical panorama according to the first and second equirectangular panoramas and the optical flow. The method and the electronic apparatus for stitching the three-dimensional spherical panorama may stitch, into the three-dimensional spherical panorama, images output by a radially designed panoramic camera.
