Zoom images with panoramic image capture

摘要

In one aspect, one or more computing devices may capture a panoramic image. Panoramic images may refer to images having a field of view which is greater than that of the human eye, e.g., 180 degrees or greater. Some panoramic images may provide a 360-degree view of a location. In response to capturing the panoramic image, the one or more computing devices may provide for display a request for a non-panoramic, for example, a zoomed-in image. A zoomed-in image may be captured. An area of the panoramic image that corresponds to the zoomed-in image is determined by the one or more computing devices. The zoomed-in image is associated with the area by the one or more computing devices. In this regard, the panoramic image and the zoomed-in image may be taken close in time such that the images have the same or similar lighting conditions, scenes, etc.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
receiving, by one or more computing devices, a panoramic image of a three-dimensional scene captured by a user using a camera; in response to receiving the panoramic image, providing for display on an interface to the user, by the one or more computing devices, a request for the user to have the camera capture a new zoomed-in image of the same three-dimensional scene related to the panoramic image, wherein the request is provided in order to increase a likelihood that the new zoomed-in image and the panoramic image will be captured under a same ambient lighting condition; receiving, by the one or more computing devices, the new zoomed-in image captured by the camera in response to the request; determining, by the one or more computing devices, an area of the panoramic image that corresponds to the new zoomed-in image; and associating, by the one or more computing devices, the zoomed-in image with the area of the panoramic image.
