Abstract:
A technique is provided to facilitate visual recognition of deviations and misalignments in a superposed image. The superposed image is generated by superposing laser scanning point clouds on a panoramic image, which is obtained by stitching base images that are taken from different points of view. The panoramic image can include deviations between the base images. The superposed image can include misalignments between the point cloud image and the panoramic image. A display controlling device for a survey image includes a panoramic image generating unit that generates a panoramic image by stitching multiple still images, an image and point-cloud-image superposing unit that superposes laser scanning point clouds on the panoramic image, and a point-cloud-image transparency adjuster that adjusts a transparency of the image of the laser scanning point clouds to cause the laser scanning point clouds to be visually recognized while the underlying panoramic image is also visually recognized.
