Real-Time GPU-Based Voxel Carving with Systematic Occlusion Handling
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an approach to compute the visual hulls of multiple people in real-time in the presence of occlusions. We prove that the resulting visual hulls are correct and minimal under occlusions. Our proposed algorithm runs completely on the GPU with framerates up to 50fps for multiple people using only one computer equipped with offthe-shelf hardware. We also compare runtimes for different graphic chips and show that our approach scales very well without additional effort. Comparison to other work shows that our algorithm is as fast as stateof-the-art technology. The resulting visual hulls can be the basis for a wide range of algorithms that require a robust voxel representation as input.

Optimization of a single seam removal using a GPU
In this paper we consider the problem of implementing and optimizing the Seam Carving algorithm on graphics processing units. Seam Carving is a content-aware image resizing method proposed by Avidan and Shamir. In order to use their proposed method in real-time application, a pre-processing step is needed. While some other papers propose real-time resizing by changing the original Seam Carving ...
متن کاملGigaVoxels: A Voxel-Based Rendering Pipeline For Efficient Exploration Of Large And Detailed Scenes
In this thesis, we present a new approach to efficiently render large scenes and detailed objects in realtime. Our approach is based on a new volumetric pre-filtered geometry representation and an associated voxel-based approximate cone tracing that allows an accurate and high performance rendering with high quality filtering of highly detailed geometry. In order to bring this voxel representat...
متن کاملA Probabilistic Framework for Space Carving
This paper introduces a new probabilistic framework for Space Carving [9]. In this framework each voxel is assigned a probability, which is computed by comparing the likelihoods for the voxel existing and not existing. This new framework avoids many of the difficulties associated with the original Space Carving algorithm. Specifically, it does not need a global threshold parameter, and it guara...
متن کاملReal-Time GPU-Based 3D Ultrasound Reconstruction and Visualization
Ultrasound scanning is frequently used in medical practice because it is a noninvasive, safe and low-cost solution (vs. CT or MR). However, conventional ultrasound probes only provide 2D scans. 3D ultrasound reconstruction builds 2D scans into 3D volumes of the patient’s internals. Since these volumes can be used for acquiring out-of-angle views, 3D rendering of the anatomy, and for image guide...
متن کاملImplementation of the direction of arrival estimation algorithms by means of GPU-parallel processing in the Kuda environment (Research Article)
Direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation of audio signals is critical in different areas, including electronic war, sonar, etc. The beamforming methods like Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (MVDR), Delay-and-Sum (DAS), and subspace-based Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) are the most known DOA estimation techniques. The mentioned methods have high computational complexity. Hence using...
