Definition

Image-based rendering (IBR) refers to a collection of techniques and representations that allows 3D scenes and objects to be visualized and manipulated in a realistic way without full 3D model reconstruction.

Background

One of the primary goals in computer graphics is photorealistic rendering. Motivated by the difficulties in achieving full photorealism with conventional 3D and model-based graphics, image-based rendering which works directly with real images has proposed as an alternative approach to reduce the rendering and capturing complexity. Depending on how the images are being taken and the auxiliary information, such as depths, etc., required, a number of image-based representations supporting different viewing freedom and functionalities are available. These range from the familiar two-dimension (2D) panoramas to more sophisticated representations such as the...
