Panorama Generation with Mobile Camera

A computing device, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• non-transitory data storage storing at least computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
• obtaining a plurality of image frames;
• identifying one or more regions of interest (ROI) within one or more image frames in the plurality of image frames;
• associating each identified ROI within the one or more image frames with a respective identifier, wherein two different ROIs are associated with two different identifiers;
• selecting, by the computing device, a set of base frames, wherein the selecting of the set of base frames further comprising:
• comparing one or more current identifiers in a current frame with previous identifiers in previous frames to determine that a current ROI in the current frame does not appear in the previous frames, wherein the previous frames are subsequent to a previously selected base frame, and
• upon a determination that the current ROI in the current frame does not appear in the previous frames, adding the current frame to the set of base frames;
• and
• stitching together the selected set of base frames to create a composite image.
