Claims:WE CLAIM:

1. A method for generating panoramic images with real-time annotations, the method comprising:
receiving, by an image annotation device, a plurality of frames of an environment;
identifying, by an image annotation device, one or more Regions of Interest (ROI) in the plurality of frames;
capturing, by an image annotation device, one or more annotations and sensory data with respect to the one or more ROI of the plurality of frames; and
combining, by an image annotation device, each of the plurality of frames along with the one or more annotations and the sensory data to generate panoramic images with real-time annotations.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein combining each of the plurality of frames along with the one or more annotations and the sensory data comprises:
determining, by an image annotation device, overlap of the one or more ROI during combining each of the plurality of frames; and
correcting, by an image annotation device, the overlap of the one or more ROI by using Laplace of Gaussian (LoG) values of the plurality of frames, ROI masks and overlap threshold.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the one or more ROI of the plurality of frames are provided by a user.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the one or more ROI of the plurality of frames are provided by the image annotation device on identifying a predefined object of interest.

5. The method as claimed in claim 4, wherein the one or more ROI of the plurality of frames are provided for user selection.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the sensory data comprises at least one of gyroscope data and accelerometer data.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising providing a frame for displaying from the plurality of frames based on the sensory data.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising providing a frame for displaying from the plurality of frames based on an object specified by a user from the ROI.

9. An image annotation device for generating panoramic images with real-time annotation, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores processor instructions, which, on execution, causes the processor to:
receive a plurality of frames of an environment;
identify one or more Regions of Interest (ROI) in the plurality of frames;
capture one or more annotations and sensory data with respect to the one or more ROI of the plurality of frames; and
combine each of the plurality of frames along with the one or more annotations and the sensory data to generate panoramic images with real-time annotations.

10. The image annotation device as claimed in claim 9, wherein the processor combines each of the plurality of frames along with the one or more annotations and the sensory data by performing:
determining overlap of the one or more ROI during combining each of the plurality of frames; and
correcting the overlap of the one or more ROI by using Laplace of Gaussian (LoG) values of plurality of frames, ROI masks and overlap threshold.

11. The image annotation device as claimed in claim 9, wherein the processor receives one or more ROI of the plurality of frames from a user.

12. The image annotation device as claimed in claim 9, wherein the processor provides one or more ROI of the plurality of frames on identifying a predefined object of interest.

13. The image annotation device as claimed in claim 12, wherein the processor provides one or more ROI of the plurality of frames for user selection.

14. The image annotation device as claimed in claim 9, wherein the sensory data comprises at least one of gyroscope data and accelerometer data.

15. The image annotation device as claimed in claim 14, wherein the processor is configured to provide a frame for displaying from the plurality of frames based on the sensory data.

16. The image annotation device as claimed in claim 9, wherein the processor is configured to provide a frame for displaying from the plurality of frames based on an object specified by a user from the ROI.
