Abstract

See full text

System and method for rendering a sequence of images corresponding to a sequence of camera poses of a target area to generate an animation representative of a progression of camera poses are provided. An initial image and an associated initial depthmap of a target area captured from an initial camera pose, and a final image and an associated final depthmap of the target area captured from a final camera pose are identified. A plurality of intermediate images representing a plurality of intermediate camera poses directed at the target are produced by performing interpolation on the initial image, the initial depthmap, the final image and the final depthmap. Each intermediate image is associated with a point along the navigational path between the initial and the final camera poses. An animation of the plurality of intermediate images produces a transition of views between the initial camera pose and the final camera pose.
