Abstract
A geographical area, which forms an area to be represented by a model of at least a portion of a scenery, is defined. A plurality of new images depicting the scenery is received. The plurality of new images is acquired by a camera from one or more positions within the geographical area. It is determined whether the plurality of new images fulfill a pre-defined updating criterion. In response to a determination that the plurality of new images fulfills the updating criterion, an update of the model is initiated. A boundary area enclosing the plurality of new images is defined. The boundary area is defined based at least in part on a distance margin between an edge of the boundary area and a new image included in the plurality of new images that is closest to the edge of the boundary area.
