Image Stitching for NVIDIA Jetson

Image Stitching for NVIDIA Jetson – Real-Time Multi-Camera Stitching with Seamless Blending

Image Stitching for NVIDIA Jetson is RidgeRun’s GPU-accelerated GStreamer plugin designed to combine multiple video inputs into a single panoramic or 360° view—with seamless blending at the borders for a polished, professional result. Built for high-performance embedded applications, this plugin transforms adjacent fisheye or rectilinear images into continuous visual streams using RidgeRun’s optimized Stitcher and Projector components.

Ideal for robotics, 360° cameras, autonomous vehicles, and surveillance, the plugin supports real-time stitching at resolutions up to 4K at 30fps for three input sources, and integrates directly into any GStreamer pipeline.

Key Features:

• Real-Time 360° or Panoramic Stitching
  Merge multiple fisheye or rectilinear video streams into one stitched output.

• Seamless Border Blending
  Advanced algorithms ensure clean transitions at stitch lines, eliminating visible seams.

• Supports Equirectangular Projections
  Output video in formats suitable for panoramic viewing or further processing.

• Built for GStreamer Pipelines
  Integrates via the stitcher and projector elements—ideal for embedded multimedia pipelines.

• GPU-Accelerated on Jetson Platforms
  Delivers high throughput and low latency using CUDA-based parallel processing.

Example Use Case:

An autonomous delivery robot uses four wide-angle cameras to navigate crowded urban environments. RidgeRun’s Image Stitching plugin is used to combine these camera feeds into a single, seamless 360° view, allowing onboard AI models to process the environment as a single frame—reducing complexity and improving situational awareness in real time.

What’s Included:

• RidgeRun Image Stitcher and Projector plugins license
  

• GStreamer integration with example pipelines

• Tools for calibration and projection configuration (binary).

• Optional 11-hour Embedded Software Support package

Supported Platforms:

• NVIDIA Jetson Nano, TX2, Xavier NX, AGX Orin

• x86-64 Linux with CUDA-enabled GPU (for development or testing)
