Abstract
Vast collections of historical photographs are
being digitally archived and placed online, providing an
objective record of the last two centuries that remains largely
untapped. In this work, we propose that time-varying 3D
models can pull together and index large collections of
images while also serving as a tool of historical discovery,
revealing new information about the locations, dates, and
contents of historical images. In particular, we use computer
vision techniques to tie together large sets of historical
photographs of a given city into a consistent 4D model of
the city: a 3D model with time as an additional dimension.
