Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure relate to providing users with sequences of images of physical locations over time or time-lapses. In order to do so, a set of images of a physical location may be identified. From the set of images, a representative image may be selected. The set may then be filtered by comparing the other images in the set to the representative image. The images in the filtered set may then be aligned to the representative image. From this set, a time-lapsed sequence of images may be generated, and the amount of change in the time-lapsed sequence of images may be determined. At the request of a user device for a time-lapsed image representation of the specified physical location, the generated time-lapsed sequence of images may be provided.
