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...

Omnidirectional Image-based Rendering

The paper summarizes omnidirectional image-based rendering techniques giving a user a complete freedom of motion in a virtual reality. Image-based representation provides a photorealistic scene representation. We discuss two VR scenarios, the “window into reality” and the “door of perception”. We overview the complete process from the acquisition to the rendering focusing on the advantages of o...
