A Novel Approach to Shadow Detection in Video-based Virtual Reality Interaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
When detecting moving shadow for video-based virtual reality interaction (VBVRI), we need not concern the original moving object that casts the shadow. It is based on this feature of application that a novel algorithm of moving shadow detection is proposed in this paper, which primarily introduces a two-step shadow discriminator and an improvement upon the classical Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). The new algorithm markedly enhances the real-time performance of shadow detection opposed to that of GMM, and exhibits an outstanding resistance against the disturbance that arises from abrupt lighting changes.

متن کاملVirtual Shadows in Mixed Reality Environment Using Flashlight-like Devices
We propose the concepts of Virtual Light and Virtual Shadow with the aim of achieving a Mixed Reality Environment focused on shadows. In this proposal, we divide the concept of Virtual Shadow into four categories, and among them, implement four types of interactive applications: (a) real to virtual shadow for rigid objects, (b) real to virtual shadow for non-rigid objects, (c) image-based virtu...

Image-based rendering techniques are used by many virtual reality applications, especially in the outdoor scene generation applications. For image-based methods, how to deal with the problem of changing lighting situation, especially daylight is a big problem. Lighting affects image in two respects, shadow and color. Imagebased shadow generation problem is one of the very important subjects in ...

متن کاملAutomatic generation of consistent shadows for augmented reality
In the context of mixed reality, it is difficult to simulate shadow interaction between real and virtual objects when only an approximate geometry of the real scene and the light source is known. In this paper, we present a realtime rendering solution to simulate colour-consistent virtual shadows in a real scene. The rendering consists of a three-step mechanism: shadow detection, shadow protect...
