Navigating the worldwide community of photos
Article No.: 47, Pages 1 - 4
Abstract
The last decade has seen an explosion in the number of photographs available on the Internet. The sheer volume of interesting photos makes it a challenge to explore this space. Various Web and social media sites, along with search and indexing techniques, have been developed in response. One natural way to navigate these images in a 3D geo-located context. In this article, we reflect on our work in this area, with a focus on techniques that build partial 3D scene models to help find and navigate interesting photographs in an interactive, immersive 3D setting. We also discuss how finding such relationships among photographs opens up exciting new possibilities for multimedia authoring, visualization, and editing.

An introduction to image-based rendering
Integrated image and graphics technologiesIn this chapter, we review the techniques for image-based rendering. Unlike traditional 3D computer graphics in which 3D geometry of the scene is known, image-based rendering (IBR) techniques render novel views directly from input images. IBR techniques ...
Image-based rendering for scenes with reflections
We present a system for image-based modeling and rendering of real-world scenes containing reflective and glossy surfaces. Previous approaches to image-based rendering assume that the scene can be approximated by 3D proxies that enable view ...
Photo tourism: exploring photo collections in 3D
SIGGRAPH '06: ACM SIGGRAPH 2006 PapersWe present a system for interactively browsing and exploring large unstructured collections of photographs of a scene using a novel 3D interface. Our system consists of an image-based modeling front end that automatically computes the viewpoint of each ...
