Towards teleconferencing by view synthesis and large-baseline stereo
Francesco Isgrò, Emanuele Trucco, Li-Qun Xu · 2002
We address the application of computer vision to semi-immersive teleconferencing, and present a prototype vision system synthesising a physically plausible video of a speaker to be displayed at a remote conferencing station. The main system components are a hierarchical, efficient large-baseline disparity estimation and a view synthesis module. We illustrate and discuss some results with a real-speaker sequence. We regard the development of such a system in the domain of advanced teleconferencing as the main contribution of this work.
