Navigating through geolocated imagery spanning space and time

摘要

Systems 200 and methods 500, 600 of the present disclosure provide techniques for providing user-specified ways of navigating through real-world three-dimensional geographic imagery that spans space and time. An exemplary method 600 includes identifying a plurality of images depicting a geographic location at street level 610. The images are captured at the geographic location over a span of time. Image data is associated with the plurality of images 620. The image data includes information representing positional data and a time dimension related to the plurality of images. A user's navigational intent to move back and forward through the time dimension is predicted based on a navigational signal 630. The exemplary method further includes selecting a set of images from the plurality of images based on the image data and the predicted navigational intent 640. The set of images depict conditions at the geolocation for one or more time periods.
