Generating virtual reality content based on corrections to stitching errors

Abstract:

Illustrative methods and systems for generating virtual reality content based on corrections to stitching errors are described. An illustrative computer-implemented method includes receiving raw virtual reality video data representing images recorded by camera modules of a camera array, using a stitching algorithm to stitch the images together to generate an initial virtual reality render, determining that the initial virtual reality render has a stitching error, determining a correction for the stitching error, and modifying the stitching algorithm based on the correction for the stitching error. The modified stitching algorithm may be used to generate a corrected virtual reality render that corrects the stitching error.
