Code for the paper "A Comparative Study of Algorithms for Realtime Panoramic Video Blending"

Panorama Stitch Tool - Blending

A panorama stitcher based on PTGUI template.

Use PTGUI tool to generate template for static scenes. Videos are captured by a rig consisted of six gopros. Different blending algorithms are applied to the videos including feather blending, multiband blending and mean-value coordinate method.

Requirements

• CGAL >= 4.10
• OpenCV >= 3.2 WITH CUDA 8.0

Quick Start

You will need CMake to build the code. If you're using Windows, you need Visual Studio 2015 or 2017 in addition to CMake.

First, clone the code:

git clone https://github.com/ajex1988/blending.git
cd blending

C++ API

For macOS or Linux:

mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make

For Windows:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G"Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64"
MSBuild blending.sln /p:Configuration=Release

Now run some examples, such as:

bin/mvc_blender_demo

Resources

Click here to download the resources file. It contains orignal images to be stitched, a PTStitcher script file generate by PTGui tool, and the mask images generate by seam finder demo program.

You should unzip the file to /resources folder to run the demo programs under /src/examples.
