摘要： The pose of a photographic image of a portion of Earth may be estimated using human assistance. A 3D graphics engine may render a virtual image of Earth from a controllable viewpoint based on 3D data that is representative of a 3D model of at least a portion of Earth. A user may locate and display a corresponding virtual image of Earth at a viewpoint that approximately corresponds to the pose of the photographic image by manipulating user controls. The photographic image and the corresponding virtual image may be overlaid on one another so that both images can be seen at the same time. The user may adjust the pose of one of the images while overlaid on the other image by manipulating user controls so that both images appear to substantially align with one another. The settings of the user controls may be converted to pose data that is representative of the pose of the photographic image within the 3D model.

摘要翻译： 地球的一部分摄影图像的姿势可以用人的帮助来估计。 3D图形引擎可以基于代表地球至少一部分的3D模型的3D数据从可控视点呈现地球的虚拟图像。 用户可以通过操纵用户控制来定位和显示大致对应于摄影图像的姿态的视点的对应的地球虚拟图像。 摄影图像和相应的虚拟图像可以彼此重叠，使得可以同时看到两个图像。 用户可以通过操纵用户控制来调整其中一个图像的姿态，同时覆盖在另一个图像上，使得两个图像看起来基本上彼此对准。 可以将用户控件的设置转换为代表3D模型内的摄影图像姿态的姿态数据。
