Abstract :
In this paper we propose a full-view car navigator system which registers full-view spherical images with a digital route map via the GPS (global positioning system) information. A full-view image is captured by a spherical image sensor; the vibration of spherical camera is compensated by the information from an inertial sensor; the rectified spherical image is finally registered to digital route map via GPS information. Since an image sequence is directly registered no 3D model building is required. Since a full-view image is used the urban scene with high buildings can be wholly recorded and there are no limits on view direction. It results in a friendly human interface in our car navigator system.
