Synthetic View

Texture map the polygons in real time with the data from the “closest” camera
The closest camera is the camera that minimizes the dot product between the OpenGL view normal, and the normal from the video camera
Most Similar in spirit to Takeo Kanade’s Virtualized Reality. However, Kanade’s system uses dense stereo matching, 50 cameras and lots of compute time.
- Not real time
Our system takes advantage of simpler algorithms for 3D and adds real-time “best view” texture.
