Abstract

A method and system for displaying a street view map are provided. The method includes: acquiring a site scene image of a street view; determining that the site scene comprises a three-dimensional model, acquiring the attribute information of the three-dimensional model and the stereoscopic information of the site scene; in the position coordinates of the real object in the site scene relative to the site scene, identifying and utilizing the position coordinates of the real object relative to the site scene identical to the position coordinates corresponding to the three-dimensional model contained in the attribute information of the three-dimensional model as position coordinates of the three-dimensional model relative to the site scene; and loading the three-dimensional model to render the site scene image.

projecting the three-dimensional model scene image of the scene point which is loaded to a street-view spherical model.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the acquiring of the scene image of the scene point of the street view comprises the following step:

shooting the scene image of the scene point for the street view;

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the determining of whether the scene of the scene point which comprises the three-dimensional model, comprises the following step:

determining, according to an identifier of the scene point, whether a correspondence between the identifier of the scene point and the three-dimensional model exists in a database; and

distinguishing that the scene of the scene point comprises the three-dimensional model if the correspondence exists, or distinguishing that the scene of the scene point does not comprise the three-dimensional model if the correspondence does not exist.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method further comprises the following step:

performing the step of rendering the scene image of the scene point of the street view if it is determined that the scene of the scene point does not comprise the three-dimensional model.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the scene point is a coordinate point used for shooting the scene image, and the scene image is shot in 360 degrees at the coordinate point.

7. The method according to claim 3, wherein in the step of shooting the scene image of the scene point for the street view, the scene image of the scene point for the street view is shot by using the image acquiring device, or the scene image of the scene point for the street view is shot by using a mobile device having an image acquiring function.
