Abstract: A simulation of a real three-dimensional environment is created in the form of observation points and walks between them. Observation points provide the user with a 360-degree panoramic view and are created from the plurality of overlapping images taken from a single point, resulting in the creation of one environment map for each point. The environment is then simulated by displaying a transformed environment map. Walks show the transition from one observation point to another and are created from a plurality of key images taken on the path from the starting point to the ending point. In response to an input specifying a required transition to another point, a sequence of images created by the transformation of the correspondent key image is displayed. Transformation is determined by finding the image correspondence for a pair of neighboring key images and the calculation of warping.
