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. The significant reduction of data makes many Internet
based applications possible. Due to the completeness and compactness of
this route panorama, it is an attractive choice for a new digital medium
for environment archiving and visualization.
