Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9933026A1] A multi-perspective image database and apparatus for a target object may be generated by: recording (element 10) an image of the object with a camera on an imaging assembly; determining the position (element 20) of the imaging assembly relative to the object; storing the image (element 30) recorded by the camera; storing image parameters and the position (element 40) of the imaging assembly corresponding to the image; moving the image assembly to a new position relative to the object; and repeating the preceeding steps. An animation sequence apparatus and generation using images in the database by: selecting a trajectory (element 70) of viewing position, viewing direction, viewing distance, and/or viewing time by a user; selecting, cropping or splicing, scaling, and sequencing (element 60) images from the image database using the user-selected trajectory, stored image parameters, and stored imaging assembly positions; presenting (element 90) the selected, scaled, and sequenced images from the image database as an animation sequence.
