Abstract: An omnidirectional image-capturing assembly for conveniently generating virtual tours conducted via omnidirectional images, and a method executed thereby includes an omnidirectional image-capturing assembly having an omnidirectional image-capturing apparatus, a mobile computing apparatus, and a mobile stand for fixing the omnidirectional image-capturing apparatus and mobile computing apparatus.

Abstract: An automatic topology mapping processing method and system. The automatic topology mapping processing method includes the steps of: obtaining, by the automatic topology mapping processing system, a plurality of images, wherein at least two of the plurality of images include a common area in which a common space is captured; extracting, by the automatic topology mapping processing system, from respective images, features of the respective images through a feature extractor using a neural network; and determining, by the automatic topology mapping processing system, mapping images of the respective images on the basis of the features extracted from the respective images.

Abstract: A method and a server for providing a virtual reality image about an object are provided. To elaborate, the method includes receiving a lookup request for a virtual reality image about an object selected by a user from a user device; and providing a virtual reality image including one or more 360-degree images corresponding to the object to the user device, herein the 360-degree image includes image data about views from multiple directions from a photographing location of the image.

Abstract: There is provided a method for producing a virtual reality image about the inside of an offering performed by a server. The method included (a) receiving, from a supplier device, a panoramic image obtained by synthesizing images taken with a camera in multiple directions from a specific reference point in a space of the offering; (b) recognizing a feature, with which a height from a floor to a ceiling and a wall surface structure within the space of the offering are obtained, from the panoramic image; (c) creating a 3D model about the offering on the basis of the feature and the panoramic image in response to an input by the supplier device; and (d) providing a virtual reality image to a consumer device on the basis of the 3D model in response to an input to look up the offering by the consumer device.

Abstract: A multi-view video streaming system and a method of providing the same. A streaming module streams at least part of individual-view videos of a multi-view video taken at different views to a user terminal under the control of a control module. Each individual-view video corresponds to at least part of predefined user types. A command receiving module receives a view movement command from the user terminal. An target view determination module determines an target individual-view video to be streamed to the user terminal from among the individual-view videos based on the view movement command. A user type determination module determines a user type of a user corresponding to the user terminal from among the predefined user types. The streaming module streams the target individual-view video to the user terminal when the type of the user corresponds to a user type set to the target individual-view video.
