TLDR
In this article, the optical data is projected onto at least one predefined two-dimensional plane, and a pixel value for a point of optical data on the 2D plane is calculated according to the image data.
Abstract
One or more systems, devices, and/or methods for generating path side imagery are disclosed. For example, a method includes receiving optical data measured in three-dimensional geographic coordinates and image data from at least one image bubble. The optical data is projected onto at least one predefined two-dimensional plane. A pixel value for a point of the optical data on the two-dimensional plane is calculated according to the image data. The pixel value may correspond to color or another graphical attribute. The two-dimensional plane is stored or displayed as street side imagery or other path side imagery. An image file including the pixel value for each point of the optical data may be stored in memory or a map database.

Reimaging based on depthmap information

TL;DR: In this article, a panoramic image is altered with a graphical effect that indicates the location of the object in the image and a first point of the plurality of points associated with the location.

Alternate Viewpoint Image Enhancement

TL;DR: In this paper, panoramic images, images bubbles, or any two-dimensional views of three-dimensional subject matter are enhanced with one or more alternate viewpoints, where a controller receives data indicative of a point on the 2D perspective and accesses a 3D location based on the point.

Stereo Panoramic Images

Craig Barnes
TL;DR: In this paper, the range data is combined with an image in order to create a stereo image from the single collected image, and the stereo image appears to have depth, but it has a viewpoint different from a single image.

Depth cursor and depth measurement in images

TL;DR: In this article, a depth map is generated from an optical distancing system and the depth data correlated with the first point indicate a lesser distance from a viewer perspective of the image than depth data of a pixel at the surrounding points in the image, the pixel is changed to a predetermined value.

Method of operating a navigation system using images

TL;DR: In this paper, a method of operating a navigation system determines a route between an origin and a destination and provides a photographic image showing a geographic area through which the route passes, where the route highlight includes a symbol indicating at least one feature of the route selected from a group consisting of handicap accessible route, tree-lined route, well-lit route, quiet route, scenic route, crowded route, peaceful route and bicycle friendly route.

Data Processing Algorithms for Generating Textured 3D Building Facade Meshes from Laser Scans and Camera Images

TL;DR: A set of data processing algorithms for generating textured facade meshes of cities from a series of vertical 2D surface scans and camera images obtained by a laser scanner and digital camera while driving on public roads under normal traffic conditions are developed.

Piecewise planar and non-planar stereo for urban scene reconstruction

TL;DR: This work presents a stereo method capable of handling more general scenes containing both planar and non-planar regions, and successfully recovers piecewise planar surfaces alongside general 3D surfaces in challenging scenes containing large buildings as well as residential houses.

Method and apparatus for correlating and navigating between a live image and a prerecorded panoramic image

TL;DR: In this paper, an approach for correlating and navigating between a live camera image and a pre-recorded panoramic image is presented. Butler et al. present a mapping and augmented reality application that correlates at least one live image with a prerecorded panorama image, when a first location of a device used to capture the at least single live image substantially matches or falls within a predetermined proximity of a second location of the panorama.
