Systems and methods for content-adaptive image stitching

An electronic device for stitching images, comprising:

• a memory;
• a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to:
• obtain at least two images;
• select a stitching scheme from a set of stitching schemes based on one or more content measures including an object coverage measure that indicates a span of an object in at least a portion of at least one of the at least two images, wherein the set of stitching schemes includes a first stitching scheme, a second stitching scheme, and a third stitching scheme;
• and
• stitch the at least two images based on a selected stitching scheme.

A non-transitory tangible computer-readable medium storing computer executable code, comprising:

• code for causing an electronic device to obtain at least two images;
• code for causing the electronic device to select a stitching scheme from a set of stitching schemes based on one or more content measures including an object coverage measure that indicates a span of an object in at least a portion of at least one of the at least two images, wherein the set of stitching schemes includes a first stitching scheme, a second stitching scheme, and a third stitching scheme;
• and
• code for causing the electronic device to stitch the at least two images based on a selected stitching scheme.
