Abstract
Currently, drive recorders and in-vehicle cameras have become popular with general automobiles. Hence, a system using images taken by such devices is required. To satisfy the demand, retrieval of the shared data in the system is important. In this paper, we propose a method for generating arbitrary viewpoint images for users based on the 3-D map which is constructed by estimating the position and pose of the camera for each viewpoint. Our method uses Bundler and Pach-based Multi-view Stereo of the image analysis software, and estimates the camera poses by Structure from Motion and generates the 3-D map by dense point groups. Experimental results showed the effectiveness of the proposed method.
