Abstract

A method for generating a panoramic image is disclosed. The method includes receiving a three-dimensional model of a target space and an initial panoramic image of the target space, the initial panoramic image having a latitude span less than a preset latitude span; determining a first set of coordinate parameters of a camera associated with the initial panoramic image and with respect to a reference frame associated with the three-dimensional model; mapping, based on the first set of coordinate parameters of the camera, data points of the three-dimensional model to a camera coordinate system associated with the camera to obtain an intermediate panoramic image; and obtaining a final panoramic image by merging the initial panoramic image and the intermediate panoramic image, the final panoramic image having a latitude span greater than or equal to the preset latitude span.
