Abstract:
A method comprising performing image re-projection on each of a plurality of first images of a scene, thereby to generate a plurality of re-projected second images of the scene, wherein each first image of the scene is captured by a respective camera of a first multi-directional image capture apparatus and each second image of the scene is associated with a respective virtual camera; processing the plurality of second images based on a previously generated virtual three dimensional model of the scene, thereby to generate respective positions of the virtual cameras associated with the second images; and determining a position of the first multi-directional image capture apparatus based on one or more of the generated positions of the virtual cameras.
