Efficient Representation of Layered Depth Images for Real-time Volumetric Tests
نویسندگان
چکیده
Representing Layered Depth Images (LDI) as 3D texture can be used to approximate complex, arbitrarily shaped volumes on graphics hardware. Based on this concept, a number of real-time applications such as collision detection or 3D clipping against multiple volumes can be implemented efficiently using programmable hardware. One major drawback of this image-based representation is the high video memory consumption. To compensate that disadvantage, this paper presents a concept and associated algorithms that enable a lossless, efficient LDI representation which is especially designed for the usage within shader programs. The concept comprises the application of a viewpoint selection, a cropping, and a compression algorithm. We evaluated our algorithm with different test cases and show possible use cases.

Real-Time Volumetric Intersections of Deforming Objects
We present a new algorithm for the computation of volumetric intersections of geometrically complex objects, which can be used for the efficient detection of collisions.

With the advent of cheap indoor RGB-D sensors, proper representation of piecewise planar depth images is crucial toward an effective compression method. Although there exist geometrical wavelets for optimal representation of piecewise constant and piecewise linear images (i.e. wedgelets and platelets), an adaptation to piecewise linear fractional functions which correspond to depth variation ov...
متن کاملRay casting for incremental voxel colouring
Image based volumetric reconstruction from multiple views is an interesting challenge. Recently several methods of optimisation–based voxel colouring have appeared, which make use of incremental visibility. Culbertson et al. presented a way of determining visibility incrementally by using layered depth images as a data structure (GVC-LDI). We present an alternative algorithm which provides the ...

متن کاملStereoscopic Pop-Up
I present a novel system for the segmentation of images with depth into a mesh-based layered representation. This layered representation can be used for synthesising new views of the scene, and to create effects which would otherwise be non-trivial to implement, such as camera pans and depth of field effects. My contributions are threefold. Firstly, my project builds on existing algorithms, in ...
