PLANAR PANORAMA IMAGERY GENERATION

摘要

One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for generating improved planar panorama imagery, which may be used to view street-level, human-scale locations along a desired path, for example. One or more desired objects can be detected in source imagery that may be used to produce the resulting planar panorama imagery. Respective object regions comprising a desired object can be identified in one or more frames of the source imagery. One or more portions of the source imagery that do not comprise the object region for the desired object can be joined with at least some of the one or more frames that do comprise the object region for the desired object. The resulting planar panorama imagery can thus comprise the desired object. Also, the planar panorama imagery can be generated so as to lack one or more non-desired objects and/or adverse effects that may result therefrom.

1. A method for generating planar panorama imagery, comprising:
inputting a first frame of planar panorama source imagery into a plurality of object detectors, comprising:
comparing, by a first object detector of the plurality of object detectors, characteristics of objects identified within the first frame to characteristics of a first type of object to identify a first object within the first frame corresponding to the first type of object; andcomparing, by a second object detector of the plurality of object detectors, characteristics of objects identified within the first frame to characteristics of a second type of object to identify a second object within the first frame corresponding to the second type of object; inputting a second frame of the planar panorama source imagery into the plurality of object detectors, comprising:
comparing, by the first object detector of the plurality of object detectors, characteristics of objects identified within the second frame to characteristics of the first type of object to identify the first object within the second frame corresponding to the first type of object; determining that the second object overlaps the first object in the first frame and that the second object does not overlap the first object in the second frame; and selecting the second frame, but not the first frame, for use in the planar panorama imagery responsive to the determining when a first prioritization associated with the first object is higher than a second prioritization associated with the second object.
