ABSTRACT
We propose a simple method to generate new views of a scene using a sparse light field generated from a few panoramic images. We introduce a virtual sphere centered at a new viewpoint as a screen for projecting rays of the light field to get resampled images. Our method creates new views directly from a light field and thus provides a way to build virtual reality system which is more stable than using 3D modeling and rendering and less distorted than image morphing approaches.

A Geometric Analysis of Light Field Rendering
Special Issue on Research at Microsoft CorporationRecently, many image-based modeling and rendering techniques have been successfully designed to render photo-realistic images without the need for explicit 3D geometry. However, these techniques (e.g., light field rendering (Levoy, M. and Hanrahan, P., ...
Light field transfer: global illumination between real and synthetic objects
We present a novel image-based method for compositing real and synthetic objects in the same scene with a high degree of visual realism. Ours is the first technique to allow global illumination and near-field lighting effects between both real and ...
Rendering for an interactive 360° light field display
SIGGRAPH '07: ACM SIGGRAPH 2007 papersWe describe a set of rendering techniques for an autostereoscopic light field display able to present interactive 3D graphics to multiple simultaneous viewers 360 degrees around the display. The display consists of a high-speed video projector, a ...
