Photosynth software trial (splicing photos into real scenes)

The test of Photosynth is entirely because of this "super abnormal new Bing map ".ArticleSee the so-called Photosynth technology. In fact, this is a photo stitching technology. It is very powerful and can splice many photos into a continuous photo. It is a bit similar to Google Street View, but it is two completely different technologies, maybe I like Google Street View better. For Microsoft's Photosynth technology, I think it should be nice to use it easily to do some small things. For example, if you cannot make Panoramic photos (that is, Web3D technology that is not very popular on the Internet, generally, it runs through Java and can be viewed on the Web.) use this software to try it. The effect is similar.

Okay. Let's just explain how to use it. First of all, install it on your own on their official website. Open the software and register it. You can see the following picture:

Then, of course, we started a new Synth and added all the photos. For example, I took all the photos near Xujiahui and imported them, as shown in:

In addition, if the photo already has longitude and latitude, it can be directly located on the bingmap. In fact, the Xujiahui map has the longitude and latitude coordinates. The next step is upload. Everyone knows which button to click. Start upload and wait until the upload is complete:

On the completion page, you can see the prompt information, as shown in the following figure: the upload is complete and the information is spliced in 100%. The latitude and longitude information has been added, but not all photos can do this, my other test photo was only spliced at 38%, indicating that my shooting was not good enough:

In, the upper half is spliced, and the lower half is smaller, indicating that the stitching is not completed.

Now, click the View button. You can see the content you just uploaded. In fact, another Web address is opened. Is the effect:

The left part is the effect window. You can see a subject photo and the outline of the spliced photo. Click the outline and switch to the photo automatically, of course, you can also zoom in and out the view by moving left and right, as well as different browsing views. After you access the view, you can try it.

This technology has already been reflected in bingmap:

Google also has similar technologies:

Just because Photosynth is more powerful, you can clearly feel that Google is the reason for capturing images on all networks rather than making photos. Photosynth technology will be an important technology of Microsoft in the future. Watch the video in "next-generation technology in Microsoft, not google", and switch photos in different time periods at the door of his store, it should be spliced with Photosynth, and the ability to seamlessly integrate with street scenes is really powerful.

As for Google Street View and Photosynth, they are actually quite different. One is a panoramic photo, and the other is a panoramic view of the scattered photos, although it may be a bit like. I prefer Panoramic photos, because the stitching panorama produced by Photosynth makes me feel like a photo patch.

In addition, I complained a little bit about Photosynth, which cannot be separated from the network. All these photos are spliced after being uploaded to their servers. It seems that this software is not necessarily powerful, this Photosynth technology is very powerful, so the title of this article is that Photosynth software may be wrong. The size of the uploaded server is only 20 GB by default. Will it be used up in the future?

In general, Photosynth is a very powerful technology. As for what kind of applications, think about it. For example, if Google recently launched a store Street View, Photosynth can be used in principle. In the past, the 360-degree 3D panorama can also be implemented using this technology, without the need for a single point of fixed rotation of 360 degrees, as long as you can contact the shooting at will, the complexity of the production is relatively simple. What else do you think? You are welcome to give the answer.

Now, my introduction is complete. Please try again.
