Novel-view synthesis via 3d reconstruction from multi-view geometry and texture mapping

Abstract

We present a method to synthesize a target image with an arbitrary camera pose from 3D geometry reconstruction from given multi-view source images and texture mapping. The camera moves on a circle around an object set on a turntable with the constant background (black background). A series of images of a moving object under constant lighting condition are captured and analyzed. From series of those photographs, we create a visual hull of object. For texture mapping, we implement the method called multi-camera coloring. Finally, with the virtual camera pose we synthesize the novel-view image by reprojection from 3D to 2D.
