City Recorder: Virtual City Tour Using Geo-referenced Videos

Dashboard cameras are increasingly used these days worldwide to record driving videos. These devices generate a vast amount of geo-referenced videos. However, most of this valuable data is lost due to loop recording. We present the City Recorder, a platform to provide street level video tours based on user-uploaded driving videos. We demonstrate here how to get a smooth route previewing experience using the best available videos. We show several use cases in a real urban environment.
