More Information
Summary:An imaging apparatus for producing a mosaic image of a scene, including: an imager operable to capture a plurality of images of the scene; a motion sensor coupled to the imager; a transformation processor electrically coupled to the imager and the motion sensor and a mosaic processor electrically coupled to the transformation processor. The motion sensor is adapted to determine a pitch parameter and a yaw parameter of the imager associated with each captured image of the scene. The transformation processor is adapted to transform each captured image into a mosaic coordinate system using the associated pitch parameter and yaw parameter of the imager. The mosaic processor is adapted to produce a mosaic image of the scene from the transformed images.
