Abstract
The system may determine a direction of gravity in each image of a sequence of images around an object; estimate a center of mass of the object in each image of the sequence of images using the direction of gravity and dimensions of the object; stabilize each image in the sequence of images using the center of mass; and generate a 360 degree display of the object using each image in the stabilized sequence of images.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories coupled to the one or more processors and including instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- fit one or more planes using a set of camera positions for a surround image of a vehicle;
- determine a direction of gravity using the one or more planes;
- and
- stabilize one or more images in the surround image of the vehicle using the direction of gravity.
A method comprising:
- fitting, using one or more processors, one or more planes using a set of camera positions for a surround image of a vehicle;
- determining, using the one or more processors, a direction of gravity using the one or more planes;
- and
- stabilizing, using the one or more processors, one or more images in the surround image of the vehicle using the direction of gravity.
An article of manufacture including one or more non-transitory, tangible computer readable storage mediums having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- fitting one or more planes using a set of camera positions for a surround image of a vehicle;
- determining a direction of gravity using the one or more planes;
- and
- stabilizing one or more images in the surround image of the vehicle using the direction of gravity.
