Abstract
A plurality of virtual three-dimensional points distributed on a 3D reference plane for a camera array including a plurality of cameras are randomly selected. The plurality of cameras includes a host camera and one or more additional cameras. Respective two-dimensional projections of the plurality of virtual 3D points for the plurality of cameras are determined based on respective poses of the cameras. For the respective one or more additional cameras, respective homography matrices are determined based on the 2D projections for the respective camera and the 2D projections for the host camera. The respective homography matrices map the 2D projections for the respective camera to the 2D projections for the host camera. A stitched image is generated based on respective images captured by the plurality of cameras and the respective homography matrices.
