Image-based Navigation in Real Environments Using Panoramas
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a system for virtual navigation in real environments using image-based panorama rendering. Multiple overlapping images are captured using a Point Grey Ladybug camera and a single cube-aligned panorama image is generated for each capture location. Panorama locations are connected in a graph topology and registered with a 2D map for navigation. A real-time image-based viewer renders individual 360-degree panoramas using graphics hardware acceleration. Real-world navigation is performed by traversing the graph and loading new panorama images. The system contains a user-friendly interface and supports standard input and display or a head-mounted display with an inertial tracking device.

Creation and Scene Composition for High-resolution Panoramas
We present a system for the interactive navigation through high-resolution cylindrical panoramas. The system is based on MPEG-4 and describes the virtual world by the scene description language BIFS. This allows the easy integration of dynamic video objects, 3-D computer models, interactive scene elements, or spatial audio in order to create realistic environments. For the acquisition of panora...

متن کاملDense RGB-D mapping of large scale environments for real-time localisation and autonomous navigation
This paper presents a method and apparatus for building 3D dense visual maps of large scale environments for real-time localisation and autonomous navigation. We propose a spherical ego-centric representation of the environment which is able to reproduce photo-realistic omnidirectional views of captured environments. This representation is composed of a graph of locally accurate augmented spher...
متن کاملDecision-Point Panorama-Based Indoor Navigation
We present a novel user interface concept for indoor navigation which uses directional arrows and panorama images at decision points. The interface supports the mental model of landmark-based navigation, can be used onand offline and is highly tolerant to localization inaccuracy. 1 Significance and Simulation Results Reliable indoor navigation is an enabler for many novel context-based services...
متن کاملEfficient panoramic sampling of real-world environments for image-based stereoscopic telepresence
A key problem in telepresence systems is how to effectively emulate the subjective experience of being there delivered by our visual system. A step toward visual realism can be achieved by using high-quality panoramic snapshots instead of computer-based models of the scene. Furthermore, a better immersive illusion can be created by enabling the free viewpoint stereoscopic navigation of the scen...
