Abstract
A method and an apparatus for providing panoramic image data by reconstructing frame images captured by a panoramic imaging apparatus, are disclosed. In reconstruction of images with multiple image layers, sizes of images reconstructed with an image layer or images to be used for a reconstruction are scaled. An image is selected by analyzing sharpness. A panoramic image is provided by combining selected image. According to the present invention, parts having unclear focal planes may be completely removed in a panoramic image and it is possible to provide an image including only with focused regions.

An image providing apparatus for reconstructing a panoramic X-ray image, the apparatus comprising:
- a memory configured to store image data from an image sensor obtaining images along multiple image layer trajectories through a predetermined communication link;
- and
- an image processing unit configured to receive the image data and reconstruct panoramic images for the multiple image layers,
- wherein the image processing unit including:
- an image selection unit configured to divide the reconstructed panoramic images into a plurality of blocks and select optimum images for the blocks among the multiple image layers to have optimum sharpness;
- and
- a display unit configured to provide a final panoramic image with the selected optimum images.
