Barabas, J. "Sensor Planning for Novel View Generation by Camera Networks"

Abstract

This document describes a system for generating novel views of an indoor visual scene by gathering successive 2D images from a set of independent networked robotic cameras. Specifically, the robotic cameras work to seek out texture and geometric information needed to generate the specified synthetic view or views, aiming to"with each successive camera move"increase confidence in the estimates of the pixel intensities in the novel view(s). This system lays the groundwork for future explorations in multi-camera video recording for electroholography and image-based rendering.
