An image processing method for receiving M lens images and generating a projection image is disclosed. The method comprises: determining P optimal warping coefficients of P control regions in the projection image according to a 2D error table and the M lens images from an image capture module; generating M projection images according to the M lens images, a first vertex list and the P optimal warping coefficients; determining a seam for each of N seam regions; and, stitching two overlapping seam images to generate a stitched seam image for each seam region according to its corresponding seam. The 2D error table comprises multiple test warping coefficients and multiple accumulation pixel value differences in the P control regions. The P control regions are respectively located in the N seam regions respectively located in N overlap regions, where M>=2, N>=1 and P>=3.

A method for calibrating a vehicular vision system includes disposing a camera at a vehicle, disposing a processor at the vehicle, and disposing a video display screen in the vehicle so as to be viewable by the vehicle driver. The video display screen is operable to display video images derived from image data captured by the imager of the camera. Image data is captured by the imager of the camera and provided to the processor. The video display screen displays video images derived from image data captured by the imager of the camera. The processor generates a graphic overlay for display with the video images at the video display screen. Responsive to processing captured image data, the vehicular vision system is calibrated by adapting an orientation and position of the image data relative to the generated graphic overlay to a corrected orientation and position relative to the generated graphic overlay.

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for controlling a Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) camera. A video stream is provided by the PTZ camera. The video stream includes a main image and a smaller picture-in-picture overlay. The main image and the overlay show the same view. The overlay has both a higher frame rate and a lower resolution compared to the main image. A movement control instruction is received, by the PTZ camera, in response to an evaluation of at least one of the main image and the overlay.

In various examples, sensor data may be adjusted to represent a virtual field of view different from an actual field of view of the sensor, and the sensor data—with or without virtual adjustment—may be applied to a stereographic projection algorithm to generate a projected image. The projected image may then be applied to a machine learning model—such as a deep neural network (DNN)—to detect and/or classify features or objects represented therein.

A system for covering an area of interest in a live event is provided. The system may include a masthead, a mast, and a base. The masthead may include a first lens and a second lens. The base may be communicatively coupled to the masthead, and may include base processors configured to determine a position of the system, determine an orientation of the masthead relative to a field of interest, calibrate a first field of view and a second field of view, identify areas of interest, record a location and time stamp of one or more objects, merge a first video and a second video into a merged video, translate a corresponding position of the objects to the merged video, generate a video window based on the translated corresponding position of the objects, and automatically adjust the video window based on changes in the objects.
