Surface plenoptic function: a tool for the sampling analysis of image-based rendering

چکیده
In this paper, we introduce surface plenoptic function (SPF) as a tool for the sampling analysis of image-based rendering (IBR). SPF is a plenoptic function defined on the object surface. It can be mapped onto the normal IBR representation via a coordinate transform. By assuming some properties of the SPF, we can provide insightful analysis on the sampling of the IBR representation, for both uniform and non-uniform methods.

Plenoptic Modeling : An Image - Based Rendering System Leonard McMillan
Image-based rendering is a powerful new approach for generating real-time photorealistic computer graphics. It can provide convincing animations without an explicit geometric representation. We use the " plenoptic function " of Adelson and Bergen to provide a concise problem statement for image-based rendering paradigms, such as morphing and view interpolation. The plenoptic function is a param...
متن کاملApproximating the Plenoptic Function
The full plenoptic function describes all of the light passing through some volume of space. This information has at least seven dimensions: a ray of light requires five numbers to locate it (a point in space and a direction), plus wavelength and time. Given a digital representation of the plenoptic function, we can reconstruct arbitrary views of a scene. Unfortunately, adequately sampling the ...

Image based rendering using the plenoptic function is an efficient technique for re-rendering at different viewpoints. In this paper, we study the sampling and reconstruction problem of plenoptic function as a multidimensional sampling problem. The spectral support of plenoptic function is found to be an important quantity in the efficient sampling and reconstruction of such function. A spectra...
متن کاملSpectral analysis for sampling image-based rendering data
Image-based rendering (IBR) has become a very active research area in recent years. The spectral analysis problem for IBR has not been completely solved. In this paper, we present a new method to parameterize the problem, which is applicable for general-purpose IBR spectral analysis. We notice that any plenoptic function is generated by light ray emitted/reflected/refracted from the object surf...
متن کاملA Survey on Image-Based Rendering
Image-based rendering (IBR) has attracted a lot of research interest recently. In this paper, we survey the various techniques developed for IBR, including representation, sampling and compression. The goal is to provide an overview of research for IBR in a complete and systematic manner. We observe that essentially all the IBR representations are derived from the plenoptic function, which is s...
