Description:


    What can we see when our notion of ?viewpoint? is expanded?In a ?multiple-center-of-projection image? (described in the SIGGRAPH 98 paper ?Multiple-Center-of Projection Images?), each column in the image is acquired by a different camera location. The ?camera? in these images is no longer a single point in space, but rather a 3D curve that can twist through a scene and surround objects. The resulting image captures many different viewpoints simultaneously and may exhibit strange distortions, which are impossible to create with conventional modeling and rendering tools.
