Abstract:
Methods and systems for generating a 3D panograph of a 3D space are provided. The method includes receiving connectivity information between at least a first image and a second image of a plurality of images, determining correspondences between the first image and the second image using the connectivity information, determining a first morph mesh for the first image and a second morph mesh for the second image using the correspondences, and generating the 3D panograph. The 3D panograph includes the first morph mesh, the second morph mesh, and the connectivity information. The 3D panograph is navigable. A method for navigating the 3D panograph is also provided. The method includes, in response to receiving a navigation request from the first image to the second image, displaying, on a display device, successive interpolations from the first image to the second image using a morph mesh.
