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.
