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 thestitcherandprojectorelements—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.
