Projections to fix pose of panoramic photos

摘要

Aspects of the disclosure relate generally to adding or correcting orientation and/or location information for panoramic images. For example, some panoramic images may be associated with inaccurate orientation (or location) information or simply no orientation information at all. In this regard, a user may be provided with the ability to add or adjust the orientation of a panoramic image. The panoramic image can be projected onto a plane using stereographic projection and displayed relative to its location (and orientation, if available) on a map. This can allow a user to quickly identify inaccuracies and to make adjustments or corrections.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, by one or more computing devices, a request for a panorama associated with pose information; generating, by the one or more computing devices, a representation of the panorama; displaying, on a display, a map based on location information associated with the panorama; displaying the panorama proximate to the display of the map; overlaying, by the one or more computing devices, the representation onto the display of the map at a first orientation based on the location information associated with the panorama; receiving, by the one or more computing devices, user input indicating a change to the first orientation by a dragging action on the panorama; in response to receiving the user input, rotating the representation relative to the display of the map and sliding features of the panorama in a direction of the dragging action without changing position of the panorama relative to the display of the map; and updating, by the one or more computing devices, the pose information based on the user input.
