| Abstract | Abstract. A project to merge virtual reality and telepresence into a “Mixed Reality ” system is described. The work is based on Image-Based Modeling and Rendering (IBMR) techniques in which both the geometry and appearance of a scene are derived from photographs or video. Complete viewpoint mobility is achieved by combining and morphing a small set of reference images. As IBMR can achieve significant compression of scene data, applications such as telepresence that rely on low to medium bandwidth network connections, would benefit greatly from its availability in real time. Although there has been much recent progress, these techniques are still, essentially, non real-time. The work described is aimed at developing parallel implementation of image-based rendering that will point the way to real-time hardware accelerated solutions. The ultimate goal will be to develop a cost-effective hardware solution applicable to the “Mixed Reality ” system that will support the real-time extraction of models from photographic images as well as the real-time rendering of the images. 1. |
