Implementation of a panoramic-based walkthrough system
ثبت نشده
چکیده
A key component in most virtual reality systems is the ability to perform a walkthrough of a virtual environment from different viewing positions and orientations. Recent advances in image-based rendering techniques allow us to have interactive panoramic viewing of real world environment using real photos. With panorama visualization tools like QuickTime VR, we are able to have fast navigation in an image-based environment. However, the navigation control is restricted to panning, zooming and tilting of a single panoramic view. Smooth walkthrough between panoramic nodes is not yet supported. This paper describes implementation of a panoramic-based walkthrough system using real photos.

Creating Virtual Walkthrough Environment from Vertical Panoramic Mosaic
In this paper, a novel algorithm for creating virtual indoor environments is described. First, a panoramic mosaic is generated from a series of photos taken with a camera rotates along a horizontal axis. Then, from the panoramic mosaic image, a non-fixed viewing point virtual walkthrough system can be created by defining manually the corners in the vertical panoramic mosaic. The side ratio of t...

متن کاملNavigation Control and Immersive Effect on User Presence in Panoramic Virtual Reality
High interactions provided by Geometry-based Virtual Reality (GBVR) in the Virtual Reality (VR) walkthrough application typically induce user presence. The positive and negative impacts of GBVR to user presence are widely reported in the literature. However, complicated programming in GBVR and time consumption make developing GBVR difficult, especially in panoramic environments. Another promisi...
متن کاملImage-Based Walkthrough over Internet on Mobile Devices
Real-time rendering of complex 3D scene on mobile devices is a challenging task. The main reason is that mobile devices have limited computational capabilities and are lack of powerful 3D graphics hardware support. In this paper, we propose an Image-Based Rendering (IBR) system for mobile devices to visualize real-world or synthetic scenes in network environment. Our system uses server for comp...
متن کاملCyberWalk: a web-based distributed virtual walkthrough environment
A distributed virtual walkthrough environment allows users connected to the geometry server to walk through a specific place of interest, without having to travel physically. This place of interest may be a virtual museum, virtual library or virtual university. There are two basic approaches to distribute the virtual environment from the geometry server to the clients, complete replication and ...
