Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for a street view service and an apparatus for performing same method. The method for a street view service may comprise: a step in which a street view service server receives a first path image for a first path from a first image processing apparatus; a step in which the street view service server generates first user provision information for the street view service for the first path on the basis of the first path image; and a step in which the street view service server transmits the first user provision information to a user apparatus.

Claims (35)

1. A street view service method comprising:

causing a street view service server to receive a first path image of a first path from a first image processing apparatus;

causing the street view service server to generate first user provision information for a street view service for the first path on the basis of the first path image;

causing the street view service server to transmit the first user provision information to a user apparatus;

causing the street view service server to receive a second path image of the first path from a second image processing apparatus;

causing the street view service server to generate second user provision information for the street view service for the first path on the basis of the first path image and the second path image; and

causing the street view service server to transmit the second user provision information to the user apparatus.

2. The street view service method of claim 1 , wherein,

the first user provision information includes first user provision image information and first control information,

the first user provision image information is image information for the street view service generated through image post-processing for the first path image, and

the first control information is information for controlling the image information through the user apparatus.

3. The street view service method of claim 2 , wherein,

the first image processing apparatus generates an omnidirectional image, and

the first image processing apparatus is a wearable apparatus.

4. The street view service method of claim 1 , wherein,

the second user provision information includes second user provision image information, and

the second user provision image information is image information for the street view service generated through image post-processing for the first path image and the second path image.

5. A street view service server for a street view service, the street view service server comprising:

a communication unit for data communication with a user apparatus; and

a processor operatively connected to the communication unit,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a first path image of a first path from a first image processing apparatus, the first image processing apparatus generating an omnidirectional image, the first image processing apparatus being a wearable apparatus;

generate first user provision information for a street view service for the first path on the basis of the first path image; and

transmit the first user provision information to the user apparatus, wherein,

the first user provision information includes first user provision image information and first control information,

the first user provision image information is image information for the street view service generated through image post-processing for the first path image, and

the first control information is information for controlling the image information through the user apparatus,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a second path image of the first path from a second image processing apparatus;

generate second user provision information for the street view service for the first path on the basis of the first path image and the second path image; and

transmit the second user provision information to the user apparatus.

6. The street view service server of claim 5 , wherein,

the second user provision information includes second user provision image information, and

the second user provision image information is image information for the street view service generated through image post-processing for the first path image and the second path image.

7. The street view service server of claim 5 , wherein the omnidirectional image is based on a video captured along a specific path.
