Abstract
Methods and apparatuses receive receiving a plurality of images and metadata associated with each respective image, determining a viewpoint of one of the images of the plurality, the viewpoint to represent the location and orientation of the image capture device when the image was captured and creating a view including the plurality of images, wherein placement of the images based on each images respective metadata and the determined viewpoint.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving a first and a second image captured via an image capture device;
- receiving a first metadata associated with and a second metadata associated with the second image, the first metadata to include geographical information of the image capture device that captured first image, and the second metadata to include geographical information of the content of the second image;
- creating a view including the first image and the second image, wherein
- placement and orientation of the first image in the view is based on the first metadata, and
- placement and orientation of the second image relative to the first image is based on the first metadata, the second metadata, and the orientation of the first image.
An apparatus comprising:
- a data store to include
- a first and a second image captured via an image capture device and the first metadata to include geographical information of the content of the first image, and
- a first metadata associated with the first image and a second metadata associated with the second image, the first metadata to include geographical information of the image capture device that captured first image, and the second metadata to include geographical information of the content of the second image;
- a rendering module operatively coupled to the data store to access the first and second image and the first and second metadata, the rendering module to
- create a view including the first image and the second image, wherein placement and orientation of the first image in the view is based on the first metadata, and placement and orientation of the second image relative to the first image is based on the first metadata, the second metadata and the viewpoint orientation of the first image;
- and
- a display operatively coupled to the rendering module to access and display the created view.
An article of manufacture comprising a computer readable storage medium having content stored thereon to provide instructions to cause a computer to perform operations including:
- receiving a first and a second image captured via an image capture device, and
- receiving a first metadata associated with the first image and a second metadata associated with the second image, the first metadata to include geographical information of the image capture device that captured first image, and the second metadata to include geographical information of the content of the second image;
- creating a view including the first image and a second image, wherein
- placement and orientation of the first image in the view is based on the first metadata, and
- placement and orientation of the second image relative to the first image is based on the first metadata, the second metadata, and the orientation of the first image.
