This paper describes a real-time virtual camera application based on view morphing. This system takes video input from multiple cameras aimed at the same subject from different viewing angles. After performing real-time pattern matching, the system generates synthetic views for a virtual camera that can pan between the real views. The approach of this paper differs from the more common “depth from stereo” approach for generating virtual views in that it does not attempt to reconstruct the 3D structure of the original scene. Instead it takes two 2D images and directly generates the 2D output image by performing only planar operations. At the heart of the system are algorithms and data structures that support the fast inter-image correlation needed for the real-time view morphing.

Tri-view morphing
Model-based and image-based 3D scene representation for interactive visalizationThis paper presents an efficient image-based approach to navigate a scene based on only three wide-baseline uncalibrated images without the explicit use of a 3D model. After automatically recovering corresponding points between each pair of images, an ...
Stereoscopic View Synthesis by View Morphing
ISVC '08: Proceedings of the 4th International Symposium on Advances in Visual Computing, Part IIWe propose a novel approach to generate an arbitrary in-between stereoscopic view from a wide-baseline stereo camera using view morphing. Conventionally, a stereoscopic view for a real scene has been generated by a stereo camera which simulats the human ...
Real-time walkthrough of outdoor scenes using TRI-view morphing
2017 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP)In this paper, an image-based walkthrough system is presented for navigating real-world outdoor scenes based on only three uncalibrated images without reconstructing 3D model. An image-based rendering operation is performed on these sample images and ...
