Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure provide techniques for providing user-specified ways of navigating through real-world three-dimensional geographic imagery that spans space and time. An exemplary method includes identifying a plurality of images depicting a geographic location at street level. The images are captured at the geographic location over a span of time. Using a processor, image data is associated with the plurality of images. The image data includes information representing positional data and a time dimension related to the plurality of images. Using the processor, a user's navigational intent to move back and forward through the time dimension is predicted based on a navigational signal. The exemplary method further includes selecting a set of images from the plurality of images based on the image data and the predicted navigational intent. The set of images depict conditions at the geolocation for one or more time periods.
