Abstract
In this article, we present some development results
of a system that performs mosaicing (or mosaicking) of
panoramic faces. Our objective is to study the feasibil
ity of panoramic face construction in real-time. To do so,
we built a simple acquisition system composed of 5 stan
dard cameras which, together, can take simultaneously 5
views of a face at different angles. Then, we chose an eas
ily hardware-achievable algorithm, consisting of successive
linear transformations, in order to compose a panoramic
face from these 5 views. The method has been tested on a
relatively large number of faces. In order to validate our
