Abstract:
Immersive video has become a popular research topic recently. However, there are no fast immersive video processing methods, which could be used in practical immersive video systems. In this paper the real-time CPU-based virtual view synthesis method is presented. The proposed method allows a viewer to freely navigate within acquired scene without necessity of using dedicated FPGA devices or powerful graphic cards. Presented view synthesis method can be used in practical immersive video systems, even for ultra-high resolution sequences. In order to present usefulness of proposed method, several implementations and use cases are discussed in the paper.
