  • Patent number: 11295526
    Abstract: The invention is a method and system for creating an interactive virtual tour. The invention performs consecutive shooting sessions for capturing angularly spaced images of a place or property using a mobile terminal. Each session is performed by rotation of the terminal at a different location of the property, the terminal collects its orientation when capturing the first image of each session and generates for each session a panorama projection (P1-Pn) by automatically assembling captured images. After the first session each further session is performed by directing the terminal so that the first image of the session is substantially centered on a previous location. The collected orientation at the direction is used to create a linking vector between the first images of the further and previous sessions. The vectors are used to create interactive browsing capability upon assembly of the projections within an interactive virtual tour.
