FreeCam: A Hybrid Camera System for Interactive Free-Viewpoint Video
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe FreeCam a system capable of generating live free-viewpoint video by simulating the output of a virtual camera moving through a dynamic scene. The FreeCam sensing hardware consists of a small number of static color video cameras and state-of-the-art Kinect depth sensors, and the FreeCam software uses a number of advanced GPU processing and rendering techniques to seamlessly merge the input streams, providing a pleasant user experience. A system such as FreeCam is critical for applications such as telepresence, 3D video-conferencing and interactive 3D TV. FreeCam may also be used to produce multi-view video, which is critical to drive newgeneration autostereoscopic lenticular 3D displays.

Multi-camera reconstruction and rendering for free-viewpoint video
While virtual environments in interactive entertainment become more and more lifelike and sophisticated, traditional media like television and video have not yet embraced the new possibilities provided by the rapidly advancing processing power. In particular, they remain as non-interactive as ever, and do not allow the viewer to change the camera perspective to his liking. The goal of this work...

Video-plus-depth is an image sequence of synchronized color and depth images. As importance of video-plus-depth increases as an essential part of the next-generation multimedia applications, it is crucial to estimate accurate depth information from a real scene and to find a practical framework to use the immersive video in industry. In this chapter, we introduce a hybrid camera system composed...
متن کاملFree-viewpoint Video for Interactive Character Animation
Conventional 2D video production provides a fixed-view reproduction of a recorded event in which a director defines every moment to be viewed. Multiple camera studio systems are now being developed to capture real-world events from multiple viewpoints to replay the event in 3D as a freeviewpoint video. Free-viewpoint video provides the consumer the flexibility to interact with a scene by changi...
متن کاملA Hybrid Image-Based and Model-Based Telepresence System Using Two-Pass Video Projection onto a 3D Scene Model
A telepresence system is presented that has the advantage of both model-based and image-based approaches, namely, free viewpoint control and real-time color update with live video. A remote place is presented as a virtual environment by using live video projection captured by a head-worn camera onto the static 3D geometry. The observer can then observe the remote place in cooperation with the r...
