Image and Geometry Processing for 3-D Cinematography: An Introduction
Résumé
By 3-D cinematography we refer to techniques to generate 3-D models of dynamic scenes from multiple cameras at video frame rates. Recent developments in computer vision and computer graphics, especially in such areas as multiple-view geometry and image-based rendering have made 3-D cinematography possible. Important applications areas include production of stereoscopic movies, full 3-D animation from multiple videos, special effects for more traditional movies, and broadcasting of multiple-viewpoint television, among others. Drawing from two recent workshop on 3-D Cinematography, the 12 chapters in this book are original contributions by scientists who have contributed to the mathematical foundations of the field and practitioners who have developed working systems.
