Uncalibrated interpolation of rigid displacements for view synthesis
Andrea Colombari, Andrea Fusiello, Vittorio Murino · 2005
In this paper we present a method for novel view synthesis from two uncalibrated reference views. Snapshots of a scene are created as if they were taken from a different "virtual" viewpoint. The relative affine structure is used to describe the geometry of the scene and then to extrapolate and interpolate novel views. The contribution of this paper is an automatic method for specifying the virtual viewpoint in an uncalibrated setting, based on the interpolation and extrapolation of the epipolar geometry linking the reference views. Experimental results using synthetic and real images are shown.
