I’d like to create a Photosynth like experience that allows a user to navigate around a virtual environment from a collection of many pictures. For this project I’m limited to using WPF / .NET to create the application. Ideally I’d like a Photosynth component that I could drop in my application – is anything like that available?
The underlying components are all GPL’d, look up Photo Tour from Univ of Washington, and there are similar Open Source libs that do the same thing (some even better than photosynth)
Good luck getting them to work though, they are mostly research heavy, with little to no working GUI’s, and most of it is done in C/C++, with TONS of math to figure out.
EDIT:
A lot of the algorithms you would need to get started are implemented in the OpenCV project. All in C/C++ though, and like I said before, the MATH can get pretty heavy.
2nd EDIT:
“Bundler” Is the current project (born from Photo Tourism project)
You may also be interested in looking at “libmv”, another similar open sourced library.
And another one worth looking into is “PixelStruct”
