An efficient image-based virtual tour system

Tour into the picture (TIP) is a technique that makes animation of a scene from single image. The size of TIP box model, as well as the positions of foreground objects in the model can be calculated by relative depth calculation. To simulate an incline in the image, an algorithm is proposed by us to calculate the slope and the length of an incline model. After that, we present an algorithm that successfully makes integration of TIP and panorama to perform joint multi-scene rendering in our virtual tour system. Our virtual tour system shows that these techniques have achieved very satisfactory results.
