ABSTRACT:
A temperature measuring device measures ambient temperature in which a multi-camera photographic device is operated. A remapping function that maps individual images into a panoramic space is varied according to the measured temperature. The cameras and remapping tables are calibrated at various temperatures. When the ambient temperature is measured, values from a nearest matching remapping table are used, or new values are interpolated/extrapolated from one or more nearest matching tables. The remapping function is thus calibrated to properly remap the individual images into the panoramic image.
