|
| Problem: Creating virtual tours of houses with several panoramic images (cylindrical). The user will be able to walk and watch in any direction, without abrupt transitions. |
| |
| Approach: Select sections from two panoramas that cover the same scene, observed by the user, unwarp them, then, proceed to a view morphing operation, to create the image that shoud be obtained by a camera positioned where the user is. |
| Challenges: (1) Find epipolar geometry from two views of a scene that have been obtained from uncalibrated cameras.
(2) Adapting to any light and depth conditions.
(3) Creating and unwarp mosaics (panoramas).
(4) View Morphing.
(5) Obtaining results in realtime. |
| Applications: Real estate, tourism, video games based on real environments... |
