Abstract
Techniques are provided for efficiently generating 3D information from a set of digital images. Techniques are also provided for displaying groups (or clusters) of digital images using 3D information associated with the digital images. In one technique, a group of digital images are displayed as a stack of thumbnail images where the thumbnail images are aligned on a display with respect to each other based on common features identified in the digital images, camera position, and/or camera pose. In another technique, a group of digital images are organized on a display in either a 3D layout or a 2D layout based on 3D information associated with each digital image in the group. In another technique, a transition effect is generated based on projections of two digital images onto a common scene plane and blending (or cross fading) one of the 3D projections with the other of the 3D projections.
