Image stitching using geometry-based image orientation

A computer usable program product comprising one or more computer-readable storage devices, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices, the stored program instructions comprising:

• program instructions to identify, within a first image in a set of images using a model, a first boundary feature, wherein the set of images comprises a panoramic view of a scene;
• program instructions to select, within the first boundary feature, a first set of points;
• program instructions to identify, within a second image in the set of images using the model, a second boundary feature;
• program instructions to select, within the second boundary feature, a second set of points;
• program instructions to determine a set of parameters of a geometrical shape, the geometrical shape including the first set of points and the second set of points;
• and
• program instructions to form, from the first image and the second image, a panoramic image, the first image placed within the panoramic image according to the position of the first image on the geometrical shape, the second image placed in the panoramic image according to the position of the second image on the geometrical shape.

A computer system comprising one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, and one or more computer-readable storage devices, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, the stored program instructions comprising:

• program instructions to identify, within a first image in a set of images using a model, a first boundary feature, wherein the set of images comprises a panoramic view of a scene;
• program instructions to select, within the first boundary feature, a first set of points;
• program instructions to identify, within a second image in the set of images using the model, a second boundary feature;
• program instructions to select, within the second boundary feature, a second set of points;
• program instructions to determine a set of parameters of a geometrical shape, the geometrical shape including the first set of points and the second set of points;
• and
• program instructions to form, from the first image and the second image, a panoramic image, the first image placed within the panoramic image according to the position of the first image on the geometrical shape, the second image placed in the panoramic image according to the position of the second image on the geometrical shape.
