| Abstract | Video-based free-viewpoint rendering from multiple view video capture has achieved video-realistic performance replay. Existing free-viewpoint rendering approaches require storage, streaming and re-sampling of multiple videos, which requires high bandwidth and computational resources limiting applications to local replay on high-performance computers. This paper introduces a layered texture representation for efficient storage and view-dependent rendering from multiple view video capture whilst maintaining the video-realism. Layered textures re-sample the captured video according to the surface visibility. Prioritisation of layers according to surface visibility allows the N-best views for all surface elements to be pre-computed significantly reducing both storage and rendering cost. Typically 3 texture map layers are required for free-viewpoint rendering with an equivalent visual quality to the multiple view video giving a significant reduction in storage cost. Quantitative evaluation demonstrates that the layered representation achieves a 90% reduction in storage cost and 50% reduction in rendering cost without loss of visual quality compared to storing only the foreground of the original multiple view video. This reduces the storage and transmission cost for free-viewpoint video rendering from eight cameras to be similar to the requirements for a single video. Streaming the layered representation enables, for the first time, demonstration of free-viewpoint video rendering on mobile devices and web platforms. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
