Abstract

This paper presents a new approach to rendering arbitrary views of real-world objects of complex shapes, captured by a capturing device. We propose to represent an object by a small set of corresponding 2-D views, and to construct any other view as a combination of these views. We show that this combination can be linear, assuming proximity of the views, and we suggest how the visibility of constructed points can be solved. Our approach entirely eliminates the need for the difficult 3-D model reconstruction. We present results on real objects, indicating that our approach is feasible.
