Capturing and View-Dependent Rendering of Billboard Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a method for obtaining a textured billboards representation of a static scene, given a sequence of calibrated video images. Each billboard is a textured and partially transparent plane into which the input images are mapped using perspective projection. Binning using Hough transform is used to find the position of the billboards, and optic flow measures are used to determine their textures. Since these billboards are correct only from specific view-points, view-dependent rendering is used to choose and display appropriate billboards to reproduce the input.

Memory Efficient Billboard Clouds for BTF Textured Objects
Efficiently rendering highly structured models distant from the viewer constitutes a difficult task since the geometric complexity has to be reduced extremely while simultaneously preserving the overall visual quality. Recently, billboard clouds have been introduced as an new solution to this problem. They achieve acceptable performance by coarsely approximating the geometry of a model while st...
متن کاملHierarchical Layered Assembled Billboard Packs for Fast Display of Large-Scale Forest with High Fidelity
The goal of this paper is fast display of large-scale forest with high fidelity by using fair storage. We propose a new representation for forest, Hierarchical Layered Assembled Billboard Packs (HLABPs). In the HLABPs, forest is represented by a scene graph, where each node representing a cluster of trees comprises a group of Layered Assembled Billboard Packs (LAB-Packs) arranged either in deta...
متن کاملReal-time Visualization of Clouds
Rendering realistic cloud images is a challenging computational intensive task. The high computational demand makes physics-based on-the-fly rendering impossible for realtime applications on low-cost workstations. We present an approach to overcome this problem by using alpha-blended billboard textures. During a pre-processing step a series of pre-calculated images is generated for each cloud o...
متن کاملArticulated Billboards for Video-based Rendering
We present a novel representation and rendering method for free-viewpoint video of human characters based on multiple input video streams. The basic idea is to approximate the articulated 3D shape of the human body using a subdivision into textured billboards along the skeleton structure. Billboards are clustered to fans such that each skeleton bone contains one billboard per source camera. We ...
متن کاملA Shading Model for Image-Based Object Rendering
In order to obtain models of complex virtual environments, there are many solutions that make use of image-based rendering techniques. When using a set of images to represent an element in space as a billboard, there are some problems related with the shading calculations, once these elements are just planes in space. This article presents a new approach for shading objects represented by image...
