Abstract

The invention relates to capturing a still or moving image as well as object position and displacement data for the image, storing the image and the data as a dimension extractable object, and utilizing the dimension extractable object. In one embodiment, the dimension extractable object is used in a method of stitching a plurality of images together to form a stitched image. In another embodiment, the dimension extractable object is used in a method of generating a stitched image from a video image. In another embodiment, the dimension extractable object is used in a method of generating a three-dimensional model from a video image.
