� � � � � Efficient implementation and processing of a real-time panorama video pipeline with emphasis on background subtraction The Bagadus system has been introduced as an automated soccer analysis tool, and consists of an analysis subsystem, tracking subsystem and video subsystem. By automating the integration of these subsystems, Bagadus allows for simplified soccer analysis, with the goal of improving athletes ’ performance. The system is currently installed at Alfheim stadium in Tromsø, Norway. A part of the video subsystem is the generation of panorama videos from four HD cameras. However, the pipeline for panorama video generation in the first version of the system did not manage to do this online and in real-time. In this thesis, we present how to build an improved panorama stitcher pipeline that is able to stitch video from four HD cameras into a panorama video online and in realtime. We describe in detail the architecture and modules of this pipeline, and analyze
