Multi-Layered Dynamic Background Buffering for Effective Free Viewpoint Video Synthesizing

Dynamic Point Samples for Free-viewpoint Video

Free-viewpoint video (FVV) uses multiple video streams to rerender a time-varying scene from arbitrary viewpoints. FVV enables free navigation with respect to time and space in streams of visual data and allows for virtual replays and for freeze-androtate effects, for instance. Moreover, FVV technology can improve communication between remote participants in high-end telepresence applications. ...

Dynamic point samples as primitives for free-viewpoint video

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...

Interactive Free-Viewpoint Video

This paper introduces a representation for multiple view video to support high-quality interactive free-viewpoint rendering of moving people. Multiple wide baseline views are integrated into a view-dependent representation based on pair wise refinement of the visual-hull. An exact viewdependent visual-hull (VDVH) algorithm is presented to compute an initial approximation of the scene geometry. ...

Real-time Free-Viewpoint Navigation from Compressed Multi-Video Recordings

We present an interactive player for free-viewpoint video. Free-viewpoint video data typically consist of large amounts of video datasets captured from multiple cameras and additional inter-view and frame information. Neither the size nor the representation of this data is appropriate for real-time rendering. Inspired by a new image interpolation approach based on correspondence fields, we prop...
