The future of Google Earth
At the Georgia Institute of Technology are introducing methods for augmenting aerial visualizations of Earth (from tools such as Google Earth or Microsoft Virtual Earth) with dynamic information obtained from videos. They goal is to make Augmented Earth Maps that visualize the live broadcast of dynamic sceneries within a city. They propose different approaches to analyze videos of pedestrians and cars, under differing conditions and then augment Aerial Earth Maps (AEMs) with live and dynamic information. They also analyze natural phenomenon (clouds) and project information from these to the AEMs to add the visual reality.
