[CMU VASC seminar] Free-Viewpoint Image Synthesis from Multi-View Images

Title : Free-Viewpoint Image Synthesis from Multi-View Images
Speaker : Keita Takahashi, University of Tokyo

Abstract :
This talk introduces an image-based rendering method using multi-viewimages. Using densely-arranged 2-D array of cameras as a model for data acquisition, we adopted a layered depth approach for synthesizing free-viewpoint images. Instead of explicit shape reconstruction, we proposed a signal processing approach based on our "focus measure" scheme;first, synthesize an image for each of the depth layers, then, find the "in-focus" parts on each of the images to integrate them into a final image. Since our method requires no off-line processing, it runs at interactive frame-rates on a commodity PC. Several experimental results are presented to show the effectiveness of our method.
