Cinematic Street: Automatic Street View Walk-through System Using Characteristics of Modified Maps

Users often use modified maps on Web pages for acquiring information such as sightseeing information and places to go for the first time. However, people cannot visualize the appearance of the station exit and the surrounding buildings. Therefore, we propose a system for transforming modified maps into streaming video based on the features of modified maps. Our system performs analysis of the modified maps and transforms them into streaming video. In this analysis, the system determines the type of modified maps by extracting semantic relations and positional relations among geographical objects on them. In this transformation, the system shows the streaming video by letting film syntax apply to street view based on the type of modified maps. Additionally, we experimented with analyzing the modified maps.
