How video stitching works

Warp video streams into a video software with a specific plug-in

Calibrate streams via Autopano software1

The detailed process1. Video streams synchronization

1. Hardware synchronization (external trigger) 2. Software synchronization (a posteriori)

2. Extract frames from video 3. Calibrate frames in Autopano4. Export calibration parameters into video software (After

Effects, etc.)5. Plug-in warps video streams6. Blend videos

ConclusionOnce the hardware will be available, 360° video VRs will

bring a new, amazing user experience.Creating mixed VRs (photos + videos) can already be

done manually. To ease the process, Kolor is developing an After Effects plug-in. Expected availability: end 2011.
