ABSTRACT
Constructing panoramas from an image series is a fundamental task for photo-editing. State-of-the-art photo-editing softwares generally provide automatic stitching routines that first perform image warping followed by seam-cutting or blending to hide misalignment artifacts. This latter step to hide registration errors is often crucial for achieving a perceptually seamless panorama. However, when this step fails, there are no customized photo-editing tools to allow the user to efficiently hide visual artifacts. In this paper, we introduce a simple and effective interactive tool for correcting panoramas. In particular, we describe two features: 1) a seam-editing tool that allows the user to modify blending seams in a local manner; and 2) a content-aware snapping tool to help the user better align local image content between overlapping images.
