US Patent 9639935 Apparatus and methods for camera alignment model calibration

Generating a calibrated camera alignment model for image capture devices having overlapping fields-of-view may include identifying a camera alignment model describing a first candidate alignment path for a defined location in a first input frame and a second candidate alignment path for the defined location in a second input frame, identifying a third candidate alignment path spatially adjacent to the first candidate alignment path, identifying a fourth candidate alignment path spatially adjacent to the second candidate alignment path, identifying a first point along the first candidate alignment path or the second candidate alignment path corresponding to a second point along the third candidate alignment path or the fourth candidate alignment path, and updating the camera alignment model based on the first point, the second point, or both.
