Harmonized Texture Mapping
Takeshi Takai, Takashi Matsuyama · The Journal of The Institute of Image Information and Television Engineers · 2009
This paper presents a novel texture-mapping method, called harmonized texture mapping (HTM), for reducing the blurring and ghosting artifacts that are created by most existing visualization methods which do not consider the inaccuracy of a generated 3D shape and camera parameters. HTM can significantly reduce the occurrence of artifacts by dynamically adjusting textures generated from multi-viewpoint images in accordance with both textural features of the images and geometrical features of the generated 3D shape. The performance of HTM is evaluated by quantitative and qualitative experiments using several 3D video sequences.
