Abstract

A method utilizes visible surfaces as an advertising surface for aerial image and satellite recordings and is inexpensive while ensuring a representation that is close to reality. This is achieved by a method for utilizing visible surfaces as advertising surfaces for aerial and satellite recordings wherein a virtual advertising carrier is created according to the dimensions of an advertising surface (4) of a real advertising carrier and the created virtual advertising carrier is incorporated into the virtual representation of the real advertising carrier. Such methods are used for utilizing unoccupied visible surfaces and free surfaces, such as rooftops and squares, as advertising surfaces for aerial and satellite recordings.

Claims

1. A method of utilizing visible surfaces as advertising surfaces for aerial image and satellite recordings, the method comprising the steps of:

creating a virtual advertising carrier in accordance with the measurements of an advertising surface of a real advertising carrier; and

,

integrating said virtual carrier into a virtual display of said real advertising carrier.

2. The method of claim 1, comprising the further steps of:

creating a virtual space from said aerial image and satellite recordings;

covering at least one visible surface with at least one virtual structure;

providing said virtual structure with said advertising surface; and

,

virtually integrating said virtual structure with said advertising surface into said virtual space.

3. The method of claim 2, comprising the further steps of:

to create said virtual space, digitalizing said aerial image and satellite recordings and then combining said recordings to a three-dimensional image having a plurality of object points; and

,

storing each of said object points with three position coordinates.

4. The method of claim 3, comprising the further steps of:

virtually three-dimensionally constructing said advertising surface with an advertisement; and

,

storing each object point of said advertisement with three position coordinates.

5. The method of claim 4, comprising the further steps of:

superposing the three-dimensional construction of said advertising surface with said advertisement onto said three-dimensional image;

adapting said three-dimensional construction with respect to the dimensions as well as the orientation thereof to the object points of said three-dimensional image; and

,

replacing the covered object points of the position coordinates in said three-dimensional image by the object points of said advertising surface with said advertisement.
