Multi Sensor CSI2 Image Stitching
CSI2 Image Stitching
Image stitching, a technique in computer vision, seamlessly merges multiple overlapping images to create a panoramic or wide-field view. While commonly implemented in systems with CSI2 MIPI Virtual Channels support, alternative approaches exist for systems lacking this feature. These methods typically involve software-based algorithms that analyze image content, detect common features, and align images accordingly. Despite potential challenges such as increased processing overhead, they enable image stitching in various applications, including surveillance, mapping, and virtual reality. By leveraging computational techniques, image stitching expands the capabilities of systems without native CSI2 MIPI Virtual Channels support, offering panoramic visualization and enhanced situational awareness.
