  Abstract

This paper proposes a new algorithm that generates smooth and realistic transition views from one viewpoint to another view point on the panorama based navigation system. The proposed algorithm is composed with two steps. One is prewarping that aligns the viewing direction in two panorama image, the other is bidirectional disparity morphing (BDM) that generates the intermediate scene from the aligned panorama images. For the prewarping, first of all, we compute the phase correlation between two images in order to get the information such as the displacement, rotation, and scale. Then we align the original images using these information. As soon as finishing the prewarping, we compute the block based disparity vectors (DVs) and smooth them using the two occluding patterns. As we apply these DVs to the BDM, we can get the elaborate intermediate scenes. We make an experiment on the proposed algorithm with real panoramic images and we can get the satisfactory results.
