Abstract
A method is provided for generating street-level imagery to provide unobstructed images, such as images of facades of a building, for use in on-line street viewing, three dimensional city rendering, research, or building based localization, among other uses. In particular, example methods may include obtaining a plurality of images of a first side of an object from a plurality of points-of-view, normalizing each of the plurality of images to obtain a plurality of normalized images of the first side of the object, where each of the plurality of normalized images includes a plurality of pixels, each with image location coordinates within a respective image. Method may further generate a merged image of the first side of the object, where the merged image is generated by comparing pixels between the plurality of normalized images with matching image location coordinates.
