TRANSLATED VIEW NAVIGATION FOR VISUALIZATIONS

摘要

Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for defining transition zones for navigating a visualization. The visualization may be constructed from geometry of a scene and one or more texture images depicted the scene from various viewpoints. A transition zone may correspond to portions of the visualization that do not have a one-to-one correspondence with a single texture image, but are generated from textured geometry (e.g., a projection of texture imagery onto the geometry). Because a translated view may have visual error (e.g., a portion of the translated view is not correctly represented by the textured geometry), one or more transition zones, specifying translated view experiences (e.g., unrestricted view navigation, restricted view navigation, etc.), may be defined. For example, a snapback force may be applied when a current view corresponds to a transition zone having a relatively higher error.

主权项

1. A method for defining transition zones for navigating a visualization of a scene, comprising:
projecting a first texture image and a second texture image onto a geometry of a scene to create a textured geometry of the scene; determining an error basin for a transition space between the first texture image and the second texture image based upon a visual error measurement, the transition space based upon the textured geometry; defining a first transition zone within the transition space based upon one or more first translated views being below an error threshold within the error basin, the first transition zone specifying a first translated view experience for the one or more first translated views; and defining a second transition zone within the transition space based upon one or more second translated views being above the error threshold within the error basin, the second transition zone defining a second translated view experience for the one or more second translated views.
