Argon Design is an electronics and software development consultancy that also develops its own products and intellectual property. One such project is Argon360, a system for real-time video stitching from multiple camera inputs into a single 360-degree video stream. The document discusses the technical challenges of video stitching, provides a block diagram of the Argon360 system and its processing pipeline, and shows a sample stitched video. It indicates the next steps will involve evaluating market interest, adding features like parallax correction, and partnering with companies for licensing and product development.

18 Argon360 – what is it? • High quality video stitching • Real-time • Compact • Low power consumption • Scalable • IP core for chip or FPGA …and coming soon • Depth dependent parallax correction Patent pending technology bringing the speed and efficiency of hardware to real-time video stitching
19 …and what it isn’t It’s not a ready-baked product: • “Can I try/buy/borrow/steal your stitching box?” – Sorry – no! We have a single working engineering prototype – Some real-life trials – Prototype platform – not for production environment
