Nvidia patents method to turn one photo into a 360-degree panorama
Nvidia describes a system that uses artificial intelligence to create a full spherical view from a single flat photograph. Instead of stitching together multiple photos, the software analyzes the one image to predict and fill in the missing parts of the scene.
In the filing’s own words
Apparatuses, systems, and techniques are presented to generate panoramas from individual images. In at least one embodiment, one or more generative neural networks are used to generate a spherical panoramic image using features extracted from a single input image.
