چکیده

We describe Coliseum, a desktop system for immersive teleconferencing. Five cameras attached to a desktop LCD monitor are directed at a participant. View synthesis methods produce arbitrary-perspective renderings of the participant from these video streams, and transmit them to other participants. Combining these renderings in a shared synthetic environment gives the illusion of having remote participants interacting in a common space.

Multiple Narrow-baseline System for Immersive Teleconferencing

An important aim of immersive teleconferencing systems is to create realistic 3D virtual views of remote conferees. Hence, systems should be able to deal with hand gestures as well as occluded areas in reference images required in derived views. The quality of such derived views is dependent not only on the analysis and synthesis process but also the multiview camera set-up. Often the popular c...

INVITE: 3D-Augmented Interactive Video Teleconferencing

We propose a novel approach to mixed-reality teleconferencing that focuses on 3D augmentations of multi-camera 2D video streams. We exchange information about the geometric layout of all participating meeting sites, as well as the camera parameters for surveying these spaces. We can then correctly overlay 3D graphics on top of the video feeds, representing meeting content as well as highlight a...

Combining Approximate Geometry with View-Dependent Texture Mapping - A Hybrid Approach to 3D Video Teleconferencing

We present a hybrid system using computer vision and graphics methods that effectively combines fast automatic 3D model extraction with view-dependent texture mapping for the purpose of real-time person-toperson 3D video teleconferencing. In our approach the problem of creating a dense disparity map is bypassed. We compute only a sparse geometric model, which is textured from multiple cameras u...

This paper presents a new algorithm for immersive teleconferencing, which addresses the problem of registering and blending multiple images together to create a single seamless panorama. In the immersive telecon-ference paradigm, one frame of the teleconference is a panorama that is constructed from a compound-image sensing device. These frames are rendered at the remote site on a projection su...
