METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONVEYING LOCATION BASED IMAGES BASED ON A FIELD-OF-VIEW

摘要

An approach for enabling users to view an image of a location from different fields-of- view is described. A field-of-view generator causes a rendering of a user interface element representing a field-of-view. The field-of-view generator further processes one or more interactions with the user interface element to determine one or more parameters for specifying the field-of-view. The field-of-view generator further determines a portion of at least one panoramic image that is visible in the field-of-view based, at least in part, on the one or more parameters. Still further, the field-of-view generator causes a rendering of the portion of that at least one panoramic image
