Abstract
Generating thumbnails from panoramic images is described. In one or more implementations, a 2D projection of a panoramic image is received and projected onto a 3D surface to generate a 3D projection. Portions of the 3D projection are formed, and each portion is projected to a 2D plane to generate 2D projections of the portions. Object recognition is then performed on the portions that identifies objects, attributes of the objects, and locations of the objects within the panoramic image. Responsive to an image search query matching one of the recognized objects, the system generates a thumbnail from the panoramic image specific to a portion of the panoramic image that contains the object and outputs the thumbnail.
