Rendering Almost Perspective Views from a Sparse Set of Omnidirectional Images

چکیده
Non-central (X-slits) images can be used in image based rendering (IBR) for new view synthesis for a viewer moving in a restricted region. Novel, i.e. previously unseen, views are rendered from virtual camera positions from a set of images captured at some predefined camera positions. The novel views correspond to camera positions not contained in the input image set. For instance, the input sequence consists of images captured on a circular path, but the viewer can move in a disk defined by that path. We investigate a class of non-central images, the omnidirectional X-slits images, which capture environment around the viewer completely. The virtual viewer can rotate his head freely in each position without the need of creating another image for different viewing direction. New images have to be generated only in case of a change in position of the viewer. This approach allows efficient representation of high resolution (and thus space demanding) images for IBR in memory.

3D modeling and rendering from multiple wide-baseline images by match propagation
In this paper, we present a method for modeling a complex scene from a small set of input images taken from widely separated viewpoints and then synthesizing novel views. First, we find sparse correspondences across multiple input images and calibrate these input images taken with unknown cameras. Then one of the input images is chosen as the reference image for modeling by match propagation. A...
متن کاملRendering Real-World Objects Using View Interpolation
This paper presents a new approach to rendering arbitrary views of real-world 3-D objects of complex shapes. We propose to represent an object by a sparse set of corresponding .2-D views, and to construct any other view as a combination of these reference views. We show that this combination can be linear, assuming proximity of the views, and we suggest how the visibility of constructed points ...
متن کاملReduced egomotion estimation drift using omnidirectional views
Estimation of camera motion from a given image sequence is a common task for multi-view 3D computer vision applications. Salient features (lines, corners etc.) in the images are used to estimate the motion of the camera, also called egomotion. This estimation suffers from an error built-up as the length of the image sequence increases and this causes a drift in the estimated position. In this l...

متن کاملSpherical Imaging in Omnidirectional Camera Networks
We propose in this chapter to consider the emerging framework of networks of omnidirectional cameras. We first describe how omnidirectional images captured by different types of mirrors or lenses can be uniquely mapped to spherical images. Spherical imaging can then be used for calibration, scene analysis or distributed processing in omni-directional camera networks. The chapter then presents c...
