Studio Argento, vr lab. Venise - QTVR - g i l l e s v i d a l. Route Panorama. Route panoramas are ways to process information from a video camera mounted on a vehicle.
A route panorama captures and displays miles of scenes along a route optimized to use as little data as possible. It captures scenes with a slit in the frame of a camera moving along a certain route. This presentation details new techniques which do not require image stitching and thus simplifies the input process. The resulting route panorama will not take overlapped scenes in consecutive video frames so that its data size is about 1/200-1/300 of traditional video sequences. Loading “Vision and Image” Dr.
Jiang Yu Zheng and Professor Saburo Tsuji are the inventors of the world first 360 degree digital Panoramic Image which are widely used today. It is obtained by scanning scenes around through a slit when a camera rotates, that is actually taking one pixel line in each image frame and collecting consecutive lines along the time. Here are some panoramic images taken at the very begining of the invention. You can also find the campus scene of Kyushu Institute of Technology. The use of panoramic image has been extended from robot scene recognition to environment monitoring and multimedia visualization that realizes virutal tourism.
