Relief Mosaics by Joint View Triangulation

Relief mosaics are collections of registered images that extend traditional mosaics by supporting motion parallax. A simple parallax interpolation algorithm based on computed correspondence information allows high quality blurfree and ghost-free mosaics to be created using images from moving hand-held cameras that would not be suitable for traditional mosaicing. The renderer can also display local parallax changes, giving a local but visually convincing illusion of depth. Moreover, relief mosaics can be used for approximate plenoptic modeling from hand-held cameras at lower spatial sampling rates than existing light-field methods. We present a fully automatic correspondence based construction system for relief mosaics, and show how they can be used in applications.
