Publication number: 20230131239Abstract: Image information appropriately representing the state of changes in the three-dimensional space is generated. According to one embodiment, a server device (SV) stores, in an omnidirectional image storage unit (21), omnidirectional images of a three-dimensional space photographed at a plurality of positions, for each floor of a facility. Where two images of the same floor photographed at different dates and times are displayed for comparison, an omnidirectional image whose photography position coordinates are closest to the photography position coordinates of a comparison reference image is selected from among all omnidirectional images to be compared. The angle of the selected omnidirectional image to be compared is adjusted such that it corresponds to the angle of a comparison reference image. Comparison display image data is generated in which the adjusted comparison image and the comparison reference image are arranged side by side and is transmitted to the user terminal (UT1).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2022Publication date: April 27, 2023Applicants: NTT Communications Corporation, 3i, IncInventor: Ken KIM

Publication number: 20230125097Abstract: Optimization of a photography position is intended. According to one embodiment, photography recommended positions are sequentially set based on reference points set on a two-dimensional coordinate plane of a plan view of a floor to be photographed, a graphic pattern representing a set photography recommended position is combined with a finder display image output from a camera CM to thereby generate photography guide information composed of an AR image, and the generated photography guide information is transmitted to the user terminal MT and displayed. In addition, it is determined whether or not the movement position of the user is within a predetermined range including the photography recommended position. If the photography is performed outside the predetermined range, a message is displayed to that effect or notification is given by vibrating a vibrator, and the image data photographed at this time is discarded.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2022Publication date: April 27, 2023Applicants: NTT Communications Corporation, 3i, IncInventor: Ken KIM
