Light Field Rendering of Dynamic Scene
Wei Li, Qi Ke, Xiaohu Huang, Nanning Zheng · 1998
Image based rendering has displayed advantage in speed over traditional geometry based rendering algorithms. With the four dimensional light field descriptions, static scene can be generated with interactive rate on ordinary computer. The limitation of the scheme is that it can only handle static scene and fixed illumination. This paper raises the idea to decompose the light field into sub-light-fields that do not change as scene changes. It expands the advantage of light field rendering to dynamic scenes where the position and orientation of objects, lights and viewpoint can be modified arbitrarily.
