Image-Based Rendering using Plane-Sweeping Modelisation

This paper presents a method to create new images of a scene from a small set of calibrated images using color matching. While most of the existing techniques attempt to build a 3d reconstruction of the scene, the only geometric constraint our color matching method requires is camera calibration. This paper describes a new adaptation of the plane-sweeping algorithm using a local dynamic scoring method that handle occlusions. We also propose a real-time implementation of our method using fragment programs. These modifications are well suited for on-line real-time rendering of dynamic scenes.
