Abstract

We propose a new free-view video system that generates immersive 3D video from arbitrary point of view, using outer cameras and an inner omni-directional camera. The system reconstructs 3D modes from the captured video streams and generates realistic free-view video of those objects from a virtual camera. In this paper, we propose a real-time omni-directional camera calibration method, and describe a shape-from-silhouette technique for 3D modeling and a micro-facet billboarding technique for rendering. Owing to the movability and high resolution of the inner omni-directional camera, the proposed system reconstructs more elaborate 3D models and generates natural and vivid video with an immersive sensation.

Non-Single Viewpoint Catadioptric Cameras: Geometry and Analysis

Conventional vision systems and algorithms assume the imaging system to have a single viewpoint. However, these imaging systems need not always maintain a single viewpoint. For instance, an incorrectly aligned catadioptric system could cause non-single ...
Multiview Panoramic Cameras Using Mirror Pyramids

A mirror pyramid consists of a set of planar mirror faces arranged around an axis of symmetry and inclined to form a pyramid. By strategically positioning a number of conventional cameras around a mirror pyramid, the viewpoints of the cameras' mirror ...
