Annotation Transfer for Panoramic Image

A system, comprising:

• a 360 degree image capture device, configured to create a 360 degree image of a building location;
• a mobile device, comprising:
• a display;
• a camera;
• a memory, comprising:
• an application;
• and
• an annotated 360 degree image, received from one of the 360 degree image capture device or a computer configured to add annotation to the 360 degree image, the annotated 360 degree image comprises annotation at one or more selected coordinates of the 360 degree image;
• and
• a processor, coupled to the memory, the display, and the camera, and configured to execute the application to:
• synchronize a position of the mobile device to a 360 degree image capture device position for the annotated 360 degree image;
• match a mobile device live camera view zoom and orientation to the annotated 360 degree image;
• and
• display the annotation on the mobile device live camera view.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform:

• obtaining, with a 360 degree image capture device, a 360 degree image at a building location;
• annotating the 360 degree image at a selected coordinate;
• synchronizing a position of a mobile device to a position of the 360 degree image capture device for the annotated 360 degree image;
• matching a mobile device live camera view zoom and orientation to the annotated 360 degree image;
• and
• displaying the annotation on the mobile device.
