Given a set of real images, Novel View Synthesis (NVS) aims to produce views of a scene that would correspond to that of a virtual camera. There exist many approaches to solving this problem. We consider physically valid NVS methods, in particular those based on epipolar and trifocal transfer. We review a number of methods and place them into a common framework of view specification and mapping...

Erwin Kruppa’s 1913 paper, Erwin Kruppa, “Zur Ermittlung eines Objektes aus zwei Perspektiven mit innerer Orientierung”, Sitzungsberichte der Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftlichen Kaiserlichen Akademie der Wissenschaften, Vol. 122 (1913), pp. 1939–1948, which may be translated as “To determine a 3D object from two perspective views with known inner orientation”, is a landmark paper in Computer V...

This paper proposes a new approach to rectification, a process whereby a stereo pair of images is re-sampled so as to make imposing the two view geometric constraint simple. This is normally performed by applying a single linear transformation per image, a method which has the drawback that some camera motions produce rectified images which are heavily distorted or unbounded. More recent attemp...

We investigate whether epipolar misalignment can be automatically detected and corrected without explicit knowledge of point correspondences. In this regard, the work is closely related to the problem of structure-and-motion from two frames. However, the motion estimation described here is independent of any estimation of the structure of the scene and consequently is expected to be signiicantl...
