Scalable inside-out image-based rendering

Scalable Parallel Out-of-core Terrain Rendering

In this paper, we introduce a novel out-of-core parallel and scalable technique for rendering massive terrain datasets. The parallel rendering task decomposition is implemented on top of an existing terrain renderer using an open source framework for cluster-parallel rendering. Our approach achieves parallel rendering by division of the rendering task either in sort-last (database) or sort-firs...

Image Based Routing for Image Based Rendering

Recent research has shown that capturing a scene using several cameras has many advantages over traditional single viewpoint or stereo capture. Here, we focus on multicamera systems using Internet Protocol (IP) as the mode of communication. As these networks of cameras grow in size, the problem of handling the immense amount of data they are capable of producing becomes an important problem. Ou...

Image/Based Crowd Rendering

Populated urban environments are very important in many applications such as urban planning and entertainment. However rendering in real time many people in a complex environment is still challenging. In this paper, we propose methods for rendering real time animated crowds in virtual cities. We take advantage of the properties of an urban environment, and the way a viewer and the avatars move ...

Image-based rendering

Image-based rendering (IBR) is unique in that it requires computer graphics, computer vision, and image processing to join forces to solve a common goal, namely photorealistic rendering through the use of images. IBR as an area of research has been around for about ten years, and substantial progress has been achieved in effectively capturing, representing, and rendering scenes. In this article...
