Route Panorama

This project, route panorama, captures and displays miles of scenes along a route optimized to use as little data as possible. It captures scenes with a slit in the frame of a camera moving along a certain route. This presentation details new techniques which do not require image stitching and thus simplifies the input process. The resulting route panorama will not take overlapped scenes in consecutive video frames so that its data size is about 1/200-1/300 of traditional video sequences. The significant reduction of data makes many Internet based applications possible. Due to the completeness and compactness of this route panorama, it is an attractive choice for a new digital medium for environment archiving and visualization.

Research Interests

Dr. Zheng earned his B.S. degree from Fudan University, China, in 1983, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Osaka University in Japan in 1987 and 1990, respectively. He was with ATR Communication Systems Research Laboratory as a research associate from 2000-2003. He then worked at Kyushu Institute of Technology, Japan, from 1993 to 2001 as an associate professor. He specializes in the areas of image, vision, graphics, virtual reality, multimedia, and the internet. His current research interests include 3D Modeling, Dynamic Image Processing, scene representation, digital museums, and combining vision with graphics and human interface. Dr. Zheng received 1991 Best Paper Award from the Information Processing Society of Japan for generating the world's first digital panoramic image. He also received the Excellent Paper Award from the Japan Society of Art and Science in 2000 for his development of a graphics tool to extract human motion from video. He is a senior member of IEEE, and adjunct professor in Beijing University, China.
