Virtual tourism could get more realistic: Model builds panoramas
Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model to generate realistic panoramic images for virtual tourism. The work has potential applications in cultural heritage preservation and destination marketing, the team suggests.
AI Summary
Researchers have created SGMSD‑Net, an AI model that produces realistic panoramic images for virtual tourism. The system uses semantic guidance to interpret a scene’s meaning and diffusion modeling to refine images progressively. It builds images in three resolution stages, first establishing overall structure, then adding textures and lighting details. The authors suggest the technology could aid cultural heritage preservation and destination marketing, as reported in the International Journal of Information Quality.
