This paper presents an approach of fusing images
from many video cameras or a moving video camera
with external orientation data (e.g. GPS and INS data)
into a few mosaiced images that preserve 3D
information. In both cases, a virtual 2D array of
cameras with FOV overlaps is formed to generate the
whole coverage of a scene (or an object). We propose
a representation that can re-organize the original
perspective images into a set of parallel projections
with different slanting viewing angles. In addition to
providing a wide field of view, there are two more
benefits of such a representation. First, mosaics with
different slanting views represent occlusions
encountered in a usual nadir view. Second, stereo pair
can be formed from a pair of slanting parallel mosaics
thus image-based 3D viewing can be achieved. This
representation can be used as both an advanced video
interface for surveillance or a pre-processing for 3D
reconstruction.
