Abstract (en)

[origin: CA2889811A1] In order to capture and construct a stream of panoramic or stereoscopic images of a scene, a plurality of consecutive operations of capturing, using an imaging device (C,), at least two different images of the scene, in the form of pixels and with or without overlap between the images, is carried out, the consecutive image-capture operations being paced at a frequency (F) that defines a capture duration (T) between the start of two consecutive capture operations. For each capture operation, (a) the pixels of each captured image are digitally processed in order to form a final panoramic or stereoscopic image from said pixels, the processing duration being no longer than said capture duration (T); and (b) a previously formed final panoramic or stereoscopic image is generated within a duration that is no longer than said capture duration (T). The digital processing (a) of each pixel of each captured image consists of at least keeping or abandoning said pixel, and if the pixel is kept, assigning said pixel one or more positions in the final panoramic or stereoscopic image, a weighting coefficient (W) being predefined for each position in the final panoramic or stereoscopic image.
