Abstract
Disclosed are systems, devices, and methods for creating a rendering of real-world locations with embedded multimedia elements. An exemplary method includes receiving image data of a real-world location, identifying geographic coordinates of the real-world location and/or a point of view from which the image data was acquired, acquiring multimedia elements relevant to the real-world location based on the geographic coordinates and/or the point of view, and creating a rendering of the image data with the multimedia elements embedded therein.
Claims19
A method for creating a rendering of real-world locations with embedded multimedia elements, the method comprising:
- receiving image data of a real-world location;
- identifying geographic coordinates of the real-world location and/or a point of view from which the image data was acquired;
- acquiring multimedia elements relevant to the real-world location based on the geographic coordinates and/or the point of view;
- and
- creating a rendering of the image data with the multimedia elements embedded therein,
- wherein the multimedia elements are embedded in the image data in a manner which fuses the multimedia elements with the image data,
- wherein fusing the multimedia elements with the image data includes:
- determining a geometry of the real-world location based on the image data;
- and
- aligning the multimedia elements with the determined geometry of the real-world location,
- wherein the aligning includes maximal Poisson sampling.
A system for creating a rendering of real-world locations with embedded multimedia elements, the system comprising:
- a computing device including a processor and a memory storing instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, causes the computing device to:
- receive image data of a real-world location;
- identify geographic coordinates of the real-world location and/or a point of view from which the image data was acquired;
- acquire multimedia elements relevant to the real-world location based on the geographic coordinates and/or the point of view;
- create a rendering of the image data with the multimedia elements embedded therein;
- and
- send the rendering of the image data with the multimedia elements embedded therein;
- and
- a display device configured to:
- receive the rendering of the image data with the multimedia elements embedded therein;
- and
- display the rendering of the image data with the multimedia elements embedded therein,
- wherein the multimedia elements are embedded in the image data in a manner which fuses the multimedia elements with the image data,
- wherein when fusing the multimedia elements with the image data, the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the computer to:
- determine a geometry of the real-world location based on the image data;
- and
- align the multimedia elements with the determined geometry of the real-world location,
- wherein the aligning includes maximal Poisson sampling.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, cause a computer to:
- receive image data of a real-world location;
- identify geographic coordinates of the real-world location and a point of view from which the image data was acquired;
- acquire multimedia elements relevant to the real-world location based on the geographic coordinates and the point of view;
- create a rendering of the image data with the multimedia elements embedded therein;
- and
- display the rendering of the image data with the multimedia elements embedded therein,
- wherein the multimedia elements are embedded in the image data in a manner which fuses the multimedia elements with the image data,
- wherein when fusing the multimedia elements with the image data, the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the computer to:
- determine a geometry of the real-world location based on the image data;
- and
- align the multimedia elements with the determined geometry of the real-world location,
- wherein the aligning includes maximal Poisson sampling.
