Implementation of Shmuel Peleg's work on stereo mosaicing from video, e.g. in the article cited below:

Shmuel Peleg, Michael Ben-Ezra, and Yael Pritch "Stereo mosaicing from a single moving video camera", Proc. SPIE 4297, Stereoscopic Displays and Virtual Reality Systems VIII, (22 June 2001); https://doi.org/10.1117/12.430806

Given a video with consistent vertical movement, creates a static perspective-changing panoramic video.

The program deconstructs the video into frames, and then:

1. Identifies features for each frame.
2. Calculate the alignment matrix between each frame and the next.
3. Create new, panoramic frames from batches of matching frames, thus transforming a video showing lateral movement of camera, into a panoramic video showing perspective change of the same view.

Just run make_panorama.py to see my example of the program's function. If you want to try your own, put a video in the video directory and run the file the same way.

Side Note: This won't work with any video. You have to hold your camera in a consistent height, move it rather slowly and stick to lateral movement. To get best results, shoot a subject in the horizon - this program does not handle rotation amazingly.
