Abstract
While onboard navigation systems are gaining in
importance, maps are still the medium of choice for laying out a
route to a destination and for way finding. However, even with a
map, one is almost always more comfortable navigating a route the
second time due to the visual memory of the route. To make the
first time navigating a route feel more familiar, we present a
system that integrates a map with a video automatically
constructed from panoramic imagery captured at close intervals
along the route. The routing information is used to create a
variable speed video depicting the route. During playback of the
video, the frame and field of view are dynamically modulated to
highlight salient features along the route and connect them back
to the map. A user interface is demonstrated to allow exploration
of the combined map, video, and textual driving directions. We
discuss the construction of the hybrid map and video interface.
Finally, we report the results of a study that provides evidence
of the effectiveness of such a system for route following.
