Patent ID: 7831089

Claim:
A system embodied on one or more nonvolatile computer-readable media that, when implemented by one or more processing devices, facilitates modeling and texturing for mapping applications, the system comprising: a first image capture component that is configured to capture wide-angle images, and that captures a first image from a first plurality of angles; a second image capture component that is configured to capture wide-angle images, and that captures a second image from a second plurality of angles; an object identification component that identifies an object that is included in both the first and second images; a modeling component that generates a model of the object based on different views of the object from the first and second images, wherein generating the model includes, a) identifying a point on the object in the first image that corresponds to a point on the object in the second image, b) determining a three-dimensional location in space of the point, and c) utilizing the three-dimensional location in space of the point to generate the model of the object; and a presentation component that displays the model of the object in a mapping application.
