Image-based representations of an object profit from known geometry. The more accurate this geometry is known, the better corresponding pixels in the different images can be align...
We study the compression problem of visual scenes acquired with a camera for transmission or storage. Our proposed model is general and includes two well-known cases: that of vide...
Most current image-based rendering methods operate under the assumption that all of the visible surfaces in the scene are opaque ideal diffuse (Lambertian) reflectors. This paper i...
Recent advances in realtime image compression and decompression hardware make it possible for a high-performance graphics engine to operate as a rendering server in a networked en...
Concentric mosaics have the ability to quickly capture a complete 3D view of a realistic environment and to enable a user to wander freely in the environment. However, the data am...
