Abstract:

A panoramic representation framework for high-speed railway was designed based on the forward moving video, and then a fast method to create panorama was proposed based on forward moving video. The created panoramas in 3D space were reconstructed to imitate the real environment of train running. The experimental results showed that this method had many advantages in data storage and scene browsing, which had the potential to be used in many aspects, such as inspecting railway environment and virtual driving of the train.

Key words: forward motion video, image stitching, panorama, high speed railway, 3D reconstruction, fast algorithm
