摘要： Panoramic video acquisition guidance is automatically provided as feedback during panoramic video capture. Commensurate with receiving a panoramic video being captured, at least one panoramic video acquisition guidance indicator is provided. This panoramic video guidance acquisition indicator(s) provides real-time acquisition feedback on the panoramic video being captured, and is based, at least in part, on the panoramic video being captured or movement of a video capture device capturing the panoramic video. In one or more implementations, the panoramic video guidance indicator may include a video rotation progress indicator, a video tilt or video pitch indicator, and/or a video rotation speed indicator.

摘要翻译： 在全景视频拍摄期间，全景视频采集指导作为反馈自动提供。 在接收到正在捕获的全景视频的同时，提供至少一个全景视频采集指导指示符。 该全景视频指导获取指示器提供对正被捕获的全景视频的实时采集反馈，并且至少部分地基于捕获的全景视频或捕获全景视频的视频捕捉设备的移动。 在一个或多个实现中，全景视频引导指示符可以包括视频旋转进度指示符，视频倾斜或视频音调指示符和/或视频转速指示符。

摘要： A method for producing an interactive virtual movie which simulates the walking of a user within a real site and exploring the same. A scanning apparatus defines minimal conditions for the capturing of a new photograph, including one or more of: (i) displacement of the apparatus by a distance D; (ii) change of the apparatus orientation by an angle Δ°; or (iii) change of the orientation of the camera with respect to the apparatus by an angle of δ°. A photograph is captured each time the apparatus exceeds one of the predefined minimal conditions, wherein the measurements of the variables is reset after each capturing. The method also includes storing the captured photographs and forming open chains of those photographs captured during a common route photographing session, and forming closed chains, of photographs captured during a common junction photographing. For each of those first and lastfrom among the closed chain photographs relating to the junction, a corresponding similar photograph is found meeting one of the criteria of highest correlation or having the closest field of view direction, and connecting between them.
