MODELING AND TEXTURING DIGITAL SURFACE MODELS IN A MAPPING APPLICATION
First Claim
1. A system that facilitates modeling and texturing for mapping applications, comprising:
- a first image capture component that captures an image from a plurality of angles; and
an object identification component that identifies at least one object in the captured image; and
a presentation component that displays the identified captured image in a mapping application.

Abstract
Digital Surface Model (DSM) texturing and modeling of various objects on the earth'"'"'s surface are provided for implementation in a mapping application. One or more image capture devices having wide-angle lenses can be placed in various configurations to obtain nadir and oblique photography. Such configurations include a single lens, single sensor; single lens, multiple sensor; multiple lens, multiple sensor; and multiple lens, multiple sensor and a reflective surface. Positions, distances and areas can be measured from the imagery. Also provided is a continuous morph between aerial panorama and ground images.
