Abstract

See full text

A first image captured by a first camera can be aligned with at least a segment of a second image captured with a second camera, where the images have an overlapping field of view. Image characteristic values indicative of image characteristics at positions within the overlapping field of view of the first and second images are respectively determined. A difference in position between corresponding image characteristic values in the overlapping field of view in the first image and the overlapping field of view in the second image is determined. A transform is applied to the first image, adjusting an orientation of the first image relative to the second image. The first and second image can be aligned when the difference in position between corresponding image characteristic values in the first and second image is a predetermined amount.
