Abstract

A method and system of presenting a panoramic surround view in a vehicle is disclosed. Once frames are captured by a plurality of cameras for a period of time, features in consecutive frames of the plurality of cameras are detected and matched to obtain feature associations and transform is estimated based on the matched features. Based on the detected features, the feature associations and the estimated transform, a stitching region is identified. Particularly, an optical flow from the consecutive frames is estimated for the period of time and translated into a depth of an image region in the consecutive frames. Based on the depth information, a seam in the identified stitching region is estimated and the frames are stitched using the estimated seam, and presented as the panoramic surround view with priority information indicating an object of interest. In this manner, the occupant obtains an intuitive view without blind spots.
