Abstract:
In this sketch, we present a novel approach to image-based rendering (IBR) techniques for generating a virtual view image from different positions with arbitrary focus using two differently focused images captured from a fixed position. In the conventional approach [Potmesil and Chakravarty 1981], focus blur have been produced by applying a realistic camera model to given 3D objects. We propose here a much simpler and more effective method only using space-invariant filters to render both parallax and focusing effects on objects in a scene, according to the virtual camera’s position and focus depth respectively. The proposed method does not need any segmentation and 3D modeling.
