Panoramic image is one of the basic elements for creating the virtual environment. In this paper,it presents a new algorithm,generating cylindrical panoramic images based on double projecting in many images with single view. First,using orthographic projection,this paper processes original images. Then seamless mosaics of images are produced by matching and fitting related featured areas in the overlapped parts of images. Finally,the cylindrical stereo image in space is unfolded in a tangent plane by back projection in order to get a 360-degree cylindrical panoramic image. Meanwhile,experiments are conducted on a set of images to test the performance of the proposed algorithm,and shows promising results in both speed and efficiency.
