Around the world in 80 seconds

Published:12 December 2011Publication History

ABSTRACT

In the famous book "around the world in 80 days" published by Jules Verne in 1873, two characters aim to perform a world tour in 80 days. Inspired by Verne's adventure, we develop a system to virtually circumnavigate the world in 80 seconds, by collecting and re-arranging a large collection of Internet images, in a fully automatic manner, as shown in Figure 1.
