As Time Flies By: Mixed Image and Model-Based Rendering of an Historical Landscape from Helicopter Images

For the preservation of cultural heritage to be successful the general public must be able to experience sites and reconstructions in an intuitive, yet convincingly real way. In this paper, a pipeline is discussed that can be employed to generate an interactive presentation of landscape reconstruction through a Quicktime VR object movie. Images of the current landscape are registered with virtual reconstructions of the same landscape through time.
