Abstract

While digital panoramic photography taken along travelling routes is very popular, digital panoramic strip maps are virtually nonexistent. In this article, we explore the characteristics of panoramic strip maps and provide an interactive method for their digital creation,focusing on the challenge of straightening curved routes. The resulting software Terrain Bender implements a geometric deformation method for 2.5D digital elevation models based on moving least squares minimization. To demonstrate our method, we create a digital panoramic strip map.
