Abstract : This paper presents the key techniques of a panoramic image application suite fully implemented on a camera- enhanced mobile phone. The way of capturing panoramic images has been optimized with regards to usability though taking into account the generally lower system performance available on a mobile device. Furthermore, we introduced a new method to capture audio being associated with the captured scene. This enables to auto- scroll the panoramic image synchronized to the audio playback, resulting in a video-like user experience.
