Image-Based Photo Hulls

چکیده
We present an efficient image-based rendering algorithm that computes photo hulls of a scene photographed from multiple viewpoints. Our algorithm, Image-Based Photo Hulls (IBPH), like the Image-Based Visual Hulls (IBVH) algorithm from Matusik et. al. on which it is based, takes advantage of epipolar geometry to efficiently reconstruct the geometry and visibility of a scene. Our IBPH algorithm differs from IBVH in that it utilizes the color information of the images to identify scene geometry. These additional color constraints result in more accurately reconstructed geometry, which projects to better synthesized virtual views of the scene. We demonstrate our algorithm running in a realtime 3D telepresence application using video data acquired from four viewpoints.

Image-based photo hulls for fast and photo-realistic new view synthesis
We present an efficient image-based rendering algorithm that generates views of a scene’s photo hull. The photo hull is the largest 3D shape that is photo-consistent with photographs taken of the scene from multiple viewpoints. Our algorithm, Image-Based Photo Hulls (IBPH), like the Image-Based Visual Hulls (IBVH) algorithm from Matusik et. al. on which it is based, takes advantage of epipolar ...
متن کاملFinding Minimal Photo Hull for Image-Based Rendering by Carving Space with Progressively Stricter Consistent Criterion
We propose the concept of the minimal photo hull which can produce the most consistent photographs among all of the photo hulls. In addition, it is also one of the optimal shapes making the minimal consistent level be the largest. Experimental results show that the minimal photo hull can be successfully applied for generation of convincing novel views.
متن کاملHardware-Accelerated Rendering of Photo Hulls
This paper presents an efficient hardware-accelerated method for novel view synthesis from a set of images or videos. Our method is based on the photo hull representation, which is the maximal photo-consistent shape. We avoid the explicit reconstruction of photo hulls by adopting a view-dependent plane-sweeping strategy. From the target viewpoint slicing planes are rendered with reference views...
متن کاملA Probabilistic Theory of Occupancy and Emptiness
This paper studies the inference of 3D shape from a set of n noisy photos. We derive a probabilistic framework to specify what one can infer about 3D shape for arbitrarily-shaped, Lambertian scenes and arbitrary viewpoint configurations. Based on formal definitions of visibility, occupancy, emptiness, and photo-consistency, the theoretical development yields a formulation of the Photo Hull Dist...
متن کاملData on photo-nanofiller models for self-cleaning foul release coating of ship hulls
The data presented in this article are related to the research article entitled "Smart photo-induced silicone/TiO2 nanocomposites with dominant [110] exposed surfaces for self-cleaning foul-release coatings of ship hulls" (Selimet al., 2016) [1]. This article reports on successfully designing and controlling TiO2 spherical single crystal photo-nanofillers and indicating evidence of fouling resi...
