Abstract

Embodiments improve pose data for images via user interaction. A user may model a building in a web browser plug in by mapping positions on two-dimensional images to a three-dimensional model of a building shown in the image. Each of the images may have associated original pose data, which includes information related to a position and orientation of a camera which took the image. Upon modeling the building, pose data may be adjusted to more accurately depict the building as a three-dimensional model. If the adjusted pose data is superior to the original pose data, the adjusted pose data may be associated with the image.
