  • Publication number: 20140368495
    Abstract: A system for displaying multi-viewpoint images includes a terminal device having a communication component, a user interface (UI) component and a processing component. The communication component receives an image and a polygonal image model for establishing the relationship between each image and a corresponding viewing angle; one of the viewpoint angles is the current viewpoint angle. The UI component generates a UI for presenting the correspondence between the image of the current viewpoint angle and its viewpoint angle; the correspondence is used for selecting a target-viewpoint angle from the viewpoint angles. The processing component generates a switch instruction based on the target-viewpoint angle and allows UI to present an image corresponding to the target-viewpoint angle after UI presents an interval image being an image of an interval viewpoint angle between the current viewpoint angle and the target-viewpoint angle and is generated based on the image of the target-viewpoint angle.
