Abstract:
It has been noted that Google Street Views serves millions of users with panoramic imagery across the globe. However, the configuration model such as the use of a 3600 omnidirectional camera is utilised. However, an optimal model for capturing, calibrating, and compressing the captured images differs. It is with such reasons that a hexagon camera configuration model is investigated including but not limited to imagery capture and simulation of results to allow for bidirectional navigation within a simulator with the ability to view the initially uncaptured scenery. On the configuration model, cameras were placed at 60o angle apart to obtain the full 360o scenery view. It is seen that this model can optimally produce a full 360o panoramic view with the capabilities for a bidirectional view and movement of the initially uncaptured scene/ view through the application of the image rendering technique.
