Abstract
A method, computer program product and system for constructing a virtual space in which simple, time sequential photographs are taken by one or more image capturing systems, including their positional and other pertinent data which are efficiently stored in an image database system. Based upon selective view points, images and image data are retrieved from the database, processed for visualization referenced to desired viewing positions and conditions and are then displayed in real time in response to user interaction and movement within the virtual space presentation.
