Automatically creating a movie from geo located content using earth

摘要

Systems, methods, and computer storage mediums for rendering a geo-referenced interactive tour using media objects associated with a user. An exemplary method includes collecting the media objects from one or more selected user profiles associated with the user. Each media object is collected based on an associated time value. The collected media objects are organized into one or more trip segments based on velocity value associated with each collected media object, the velocity value indicating the velocity of travel between two media objects. At least one trip segment is rendered into the interactive tour. The trip segment is rendered to include its media objects and geo-referenced data. The geo-referenced data is determined from at least one geolocation associated with a media object included in the trip segment. The media objects and geo-referenced data are rendered according to a presentation style that is selected based on the included media objects.

1. A computer-implemented method for rendering a geo-referenced interactive tour comprising:
collecting, using one or more computing devices, different types of media objects from one or more user profiles associated with a user, each user profile including one or more media objects stored on various media sources, wherein each media object of the one or more media objects is collected when a time value associated with the media object falls within a time range and wherein the collecting includes retrieving the different types of media objects from the one or more user profiles based at least on the types of media objects available from the various media sources, wherein the collected media objects are associated with a plurality of different geolocations; organizing, using the one or more computing devices, the collected media objects into a plurality of trip segments based on a velocity value associated with each collected media such that the collected media objects are organized into different trip segments based on velocity value ranges associated with each respective trip segment, wherein each velocity value indicates the velocity of the user's movement between two collected media objects, wherein each velocity value is calculated based at least in part using the time values and geolocations associated with the two collected media objects, wherein each trip segment describes the user's movement between the geolocations associated with the collected media objects included in the trip segment; selecting, using the one or more computing devices, from a plurality of different presentation styles, a presentation style for each trip segment based on the media object type included in each trip segment; and rendering, using the one or more computing devices, each trip segment into an interactive tour, each trip segment rendered to include its collected media objects and geo-referenced data according to the selected presentation style, wherein the geo-referenced data is determined from at least one geolocation associated with a collected media object included in the trip segment.
