Abstract: Provided is a method of spatially referencing a plurality of images captured from a plurality of different locations within an indoor space by determining the location from which the plurality of images were captured. The method may include obtaining a plurality of distance-referenced panoramas of an indoor space. The distance-referenced panoramas may each include a plurality of distance-referenced images each captured from one position in the indoor space and at a different azimuth from the other distance-referenced images, a plurality of distance measurements, and orientation indicators each indicative of the azimuth of the corresponding one of the distance-referenced images. The method may further include determining the location of each of the distance-referenced panoramas based on the plurality of distance measurements and the orientation indicators and associating in memory the determined locations with the plurality of distance-referenced images captured from the determined location.

Abstract: Provided is a camera for capturing underwater panoramic views from a plurality of image locations along a path and data indicative of orientations and geographic locations of the camera at the image locations. The camera may include a water-proof housing and an image-capture module disposed at least partially in the water-proof housing and configured to capture a plurality of underwater images of visible light from a plurality of image locations along a path. The camera may also include a location sensor configured to obtain geographic locations of the plurality of image locations along the path, an orientation sensor configured to sense orientations of the image-capture module at the plurality of image locations along the path, and memory communicatively coupled to the image-capture module, and the location sensor, and the orientation sensor.
