Three dimensional navigation among photos

摘要

An exemplary method for navigating among photos includes determining, using one or more computing devices, visual characteristics of a person depicted in a first image associated with a first location. These visual characteristics of the person are detected in a second image associated with a second location. Using the one or more computing devices, a series of intermediate images are identified based on the first location and the second location. Each intermediate image is associated with a location. The series of intermediate images and the second image are provided. Images of an intermediate destination from the series of intermediate images are selected based on a density of images at the intermediate destination. A 3D reconstruction of the intermediate destination is then generated based on the selected images. Thereafter, a visual presentation of images traversing through the 3D reconstruction of the intermediate destination to the second image is prepared for display.

主权项

1. A method for navigating among photos, comprising:
determining, using one or more computing devices, visual characteristics of a specific object depicted in a first image associated with a first location; detecting, using the one or more computing devices, the visual characteristics of the specific object in a second image associated with a second location; identifying, using the one or more computing devices, one or more intermediate locations based on the first location and the second location; and generating, using the one or more computing devices, a visual tour based on the one or more intermediate locations and the second location.
