It is used as a navigation tool and a town information search tool. In existing research, however, the target landscape was limited to urban areas. In this study, We aim at generating route panoramas of scenes from train window. We make the route panorama of all Chuo Line. When creating a root panorama from the railroad, We solved the problem of fast speed, the mixture of distant view components and near view components.
