Fig. 1 shows a Free viewpoint TV (FTV) system [7]. FTV can generate very natural free viewpoint images in real time as shown in Fig. 2. A scene is captured using a dense array of synchronized cameras. The camera images are placed in a simple manner forming a Ray Space [8] that allows rendering the scene from any position by simple processing. So the user can view the scene not only from the original camera positions but also from any virtual viewpoint. FTV supports a wide variety of applications since it can be applied to any kind of scene.
