3D SPHERICAL IMAGE SYSTEM

摘要

Systems for producing 3D spherical imagery for a virtual walkthrough corresponding with a real environment are presented, the systems including: a rightward facing camera for capturing real-time rightward facing images, the rightward facing camera electronically coupled with a computing system; a leftward facing camera for capturing real-time leftward facing image data; a backward facing camera for capturing real-time backward facing image data; a frontward facing camera for capturing real-time frontward facing image data; an upward facing camera for capturing real-time upward facing image data; a number of laser scanners; and an inertial movement unit (IMU), where data from the number of laser scanners and the IMU captures 3D geometry information of the real environment and is rendered to provide a 3D virtual model of the real environment, and where image data from the cameras is rendered to provide image texture blending of the 3D virtual model.
