SPATIAL VIDEO Exploring Space Using Multiple Digital Videos

Abstract

This paper presents and discusses a new approach to collect, organize and explore multiple digital videos on a spatial basis. We present a methodology based on direct video frame indexation to the real space represented in the video images. This approach facilitates the exploration of space through multiple videos. An illustrative application of this technology for multimedia spatial information systems is provided. Future developments related to the three-dimensional explorations of space using digital video are also discussed.
