What is Photosynth? Photosynth is a software application that analyzes digital photographs to build a three-dimensional models.
3
How does it work? Step 1 –Software analyzes multiple photographs taken of the same area. –Each photograph is processed using an interest point detection. –An algorithm detects similarities between points and, essentially, connects the dots.
4
Step 2 –The next step is to create the 3D model, which is done with a Photosynth viewer. –The viewer is free to download –The viewer is stored on the users computer, but the photos are stored with on a Microsoft server.
5
Features Zoom in and out of photos Maneuver through a scene to see photos at different angles Send photos
6
Limitations? The maximum amount of space Microsoft provides is 20GB. –Which equates to approximately 60 ‘synths’ of 150-200 photos each. Also, you can’t add photos, they all need to be uploaded at once for a project, Microsoft is working on this complaint though.
7
More Limitations? Takes practice to get the right shots Only runs on XP and Vista Lastly, to get a really good ‘synth,’ a lot of pictures need to be taken.
8
Applications Creative way for consumers to store, and organize photos. It is also planned to be a back end programming tool for Virtual Earths.
