2. What is OpenStreetMap?
●
OSM – a non-profit collaborative map
editing service
●
OSM provides free geographic data such
as street maps to anyone who wants them
3. What is our aim?
●
Developing interest among average
internet users
●
Turning them into mappers
●
Making mapping addictive
4. Present situation
●
Photo having coordinates of the
photographer and not the object
●
No sense of direction associated with the
photo
●
Distance between photographer and the
object is unknown
6. Stereoscopy
●
Stereopsis or 3D imaging is a technique for
creating an illusion of 3-D depth from images
on a 2-D plane
●
Human brain
perceives this
depth by the
coordination
of the eye and
the head

●
Direction – the direction in which the POI
was shot
9. Plenoptic Cameras
●
Known as “Light Field” cameras
●
Contains an array of microlenses
●
Captures a series of images
●
Can simulate certain depth of field during
post-processing
19. Video technology: What needs to
be done?
●
Geocoordinates to be associated with each
frame
●
Direction (compass reading) associated
with each frame
●
