<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">As panoramic photography becomes increasingly</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">popular, there is a greater need for high-quality</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">software to automatically create panoramic images.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">Existing algorithms either produce a rough "stitch" that</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">cannot deal with common artifacts, or require user</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">input. This paper presents methods for dealing with two</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">artifacts that often occur in practice. Our first</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">contribution is a method for dealing with objects that</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">move between different views of a dynamic scene.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">such moving objects are left in, they will appear blurry</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">and "ghosted". Treating such regions as nodes in a</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">graph, we use a vertex cover algorithm to selectively</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">remove all but one instance of each object. Our second</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">contribution is a method for continuously adjusting</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">exposure across multiple images in order to eliminate</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">visible shifts in brightness or hue. We compute</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">exposure corrections on a block-by block basis, then</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">smoothly interpolate the parameters using a spline to</span></font></div>
