Popis: Repeat photography describes the process of photographing the same scene from the same camera position at different points in time. Goals are for example the detection and measurement of changes in the scene. In this paper we will present re.photos (www.re.photos), a working and freely accessible system for re- peat photography which offers online methods for the interac- tive and user friendly creation as well as the interactive browsing, searching, locating, rating, sharing, and discussing of repeat photo- graphs. Users can add historic images, called templates, for which other users or they themself can record a new image and create a re- peat photograph. Creating repeat photographs involves registering the two images, i. e., aligning the images such that the same objects are at the same pixel locations in both images. Our system offers a new interactive registration method, allowing control over the registration process, since automatic methods yield poor results. Previous works addressed only subproblems and did not result in usable and freely accessible software as our web platform.
