The camera scans temporal scenes in the side direction of the path and connect them to the spatial image. This is realized by a program that processes temporal image data or video data in a computer. The route panorama can extend to a long distance for indexing scenes and navigation on the Internet. The long image can further be transmitted to and be scrolled on computer screens or handheld devices as [moving panorama](/source/Moving_panorama) for access of geospatial locations, navigation, georeferencing,[3] etc. Mathematically, the route panorama employs a parallel-and-perspective projection [4] that is a continuous and extreme case of multi-perspective view to pixel lines. It may have the aspect ratio of an object different from what a normal [perspective projection](/source/Perspective_projection) generates. In addition, a video [camcorder](/source/Camcorder) is used to produce the route panorama by taking only one pixel line in the video frame at a time with the [auto-exposure](/source/Auto-exposure) function of the camcorder and shaking removal function using the inter-frame matching. If the depth of scenes from the path has a dominant layer, a route panorama can also be created on that layer by [stitching](/source/Image_stitching) discrete photos consecutively taken along the path [5] using [Photomontage](/source/Photomontage). Under the same circumstance, a dynamic slit selected in the video frame can generate a route panorama with less shape distortion.[6][7] ## Gallery A multipoint panorama of one of the street of the old city [Ahmedabad](/source/Ahmedabad) A [route panorama image](http://www.cs.iupui.edu/~jzheng/RP) captured with a video camera on a vehicle along Alabama St. [Indianapolis](/source/Indianapolis), [Indiana](/source/Indiana), United States Ancient painting scroll: *[Along the River During the Qingming Festival](/source/Along_the_River_During_the_Qingming_Festival)*, 18th-century remake of a 12th-century original by [Chinese](/source/China) artist [Zhang Zeduan](/source/Zhang_Zeduan). ## See also - [Panorama](/source/Panorama) - [Mareorama](/source/Mareorama) – Moving panorama - [Moving panorama](/source/Moving_panorama) - [Scroll](/source/Scroll) - [Digital camera](/source/Digital_camera): Line-scan camera system - [Push broom scanner](/source/Push_broom_scanner) ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** [Jiang Yu Zheng, Saburo Tsuji, Panoramic representation for route recognition by a mobile robot](http://www.cs.iupui.edu/~jzheng/Zheng-IJCV92.pdf), International Journal of Computer Vision 9(1): 55-76 (1992) 1. **[^](#cite_ref-2)** [Jiang Yu Zheng, Digital Route Panorama](http://www.cs.iupui.edu/~jzheng/IEEEMM.pdf), IEEE MultiMedia, 10(3): 57-67 (2003) 1. **[^](#cite_ref-3)** [Jiang Yu Zheng, Min Shi: Mapping cityscapes into cyberspace for visualization.](https://archive.today/20130105082804/http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/110444641/abstract) Journal of Visualization and Computer Animation 16(2): 97-107 (2005) 1. **[^](#cite_ref-4)** [Jiang Yu Zheng, Yu Zhou, Panayiotis Mili Scanning Scene Tunnel for City Traversing](http://www.computer.org/portal/web/csdl/doi/10.1109/TVCG.2006.37), IEEE Trans. on Visualization and Computer Graphics 12(2) (March 2006), 155 - 167, 2006 1. **[^](#cite_ref-5)** [Aseem Agarwala et al.
