LONDON: Want to create one video out of several video feeds in a professional way? A new Disney technology will now help even amateurish videographers create high-quality video panoramas using multiple cameras.

The algorithm developed by the team at Disney Research Zurich uses as many as 14 various types of cameras, generating panoramic video in the order of tens to more than 100 megapixels.

The method smooths out the blurring, ghosting and other distortions that routinely occur when video feeds from unstructured camera arrays are combined to create a single panoramic video.

The algorithm corrects for the apparent difference in position of an object caused by different camera angles -- known as parallax -- and image warping that occurs because of slight timing differences between cameras.

Both of these are known to lead to visible discontinuities, ghosting and other imperfections in existing approaches.

"We can foresee a day when just about anyone could create a high-quality video panorama by setting up a few video cameras or even linking several smartphones, just as many people today can easily create a still photo panorama with their smartphones," explained Alexander Sorkine-Hornung, senior research scientist at Disney Research Zurich.
