Abstract

The present invention relates to rendering, viewing and annotating panoramic images. In an embodiment, a system may be used for viewing panoramic images. The system includes a panorama viewer that receives at least a portion of a first panoramic image and presents a viewport that displays the portion of the first panoramic image. The viewport includes a three- dimensional overlay rendered with the panoramic image. The panorama viewer changes the three-dimensional overlay's orientation in three-dimensional space as it is rendered with the panoramic image so as to match a change in orientation of the panoramic image within the viewport.

Description

[0001] Case Description [0002] This application is a divisional application of Chinese patent application 200880024902.1 submitted on January 15, 2010. technical field [0003] The present invention generally relates to panoramic images. Background technique [0004] Computerized mapping systems typically provide a top-down presentation of map data. Augmenting a mapping system with street-level imagery presents various interface challenges: such as handling navigation within a street-level view, including turns at intersections, and in absolute terms (e.g., latitude, longitude, and heading) as well as relative to, for example, Landmarks on city streets and intersections to correlate the user's location and orientation on the map with the user's location and orientation within the street-level view. More recently, A9 BlockView (no longer online) and Microsoft Virtual Earth-driven Windows Live Local Technology Preview ( http: / / preview.local.live.com / ) has attempted to ...
