Image capture and ordering

A method for ordering images for panorama stitching, comprising:

• maintaining, by a computing device, an image stack comprising a plurality of existing images, the maintaining comprising:
• receiving a new image;
• responsive to the new image corresponding to a first ordering preference, adding the new image to a first region of the image stack having a higher stitching priority relative to a second region of the image stack;
• receiving an input corresponding to the new image indicating that the new image is to be moved to a lower stitching priority region in the image stack;
• responsive to the received input, adding the new image to the second region of the image stack;
• and
• stitching, by the computing device, the new image and the plurality of existing images in the image stack according to a stitching priority assigned to each image of the image stack to generate the panorama.

A system for ordering images for panorama stitching, the system comprising:

• a memory for storing executable program code;
• and
• a processor, functionally coupled to the memory, the processor being responsive to computer-executable instructions contained in the program code and operative to:
• store a plurality of existing images in an image stack;
• receive a new image;
• responsive to the new image corresponding to a first ordering preference, add the new image to a first region of the image stack having a higher stitching priority relative to a second region of the image stack;
• receive an input corresponding to the new image indicating that the new image is to be moved to a lower stitching priority region in the image stack;
• responsive to the received input, add the new image to the second region of the image stack;
• and
• stitch the new image and the plurality of existing images in the image stack according to a stitching priority assigned to each image of the image stack to generate a panorama.

A computer-readable storage device comprising executable instructions, that when executed by a processor, assist with ordering images for panorama stitching, the computer-readable storage device including instructions executable by the processor for:

• storing a plurality of existing images in an image stack;
• receiving a new image;
• responsive to the new image corresponding to a first ordering preference, adding the new image to a first region of the image stack having a higher stitching priority relative to a second region of the image stack;
• receiving an input corresponding to the new image indicating that the new image is to be moved to a lower stitching priority region in the image stack;
• responsive to the received input, adding the new image to the second region of the image stack;
• and
• stitching the new image and the plurality of existing images in the image stack according to a stitching priority assigned to each image of the image stack to generate a panorama.
