Abstract
Embodiments relate to selecting textures for a panoramic photographic image in image-based three-dimensional modeling. In a first embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes a method for inputting a panoramic photographic image that uses a photogrammetry algorithm to adjust a plurality of camera parameters for the panoramic photographic image. In the method, a street-level panoramic photographic image is selected by a user from a street-level panoramic image display site. An area of the street-level panoramic image is also identified by the user. A photographic image at the area of the street-level panoramic image is captured. Camera parameters representing a camera that took the photographic image is determined. A position on the photographic image is mapped to a position on a three-dimensional model. The camera parameters are adjusted so that the three-dimensional model is rendered onto the photographic image from a perspective specified by the adjusted camera parameters.
