Outline of Final Research Achievements

View synthesis methods that generate free-viewpoint images from multi-camera views in variety of camera configurations are studied. Based on this study, new framework of FTV (Free-viewpoint Television) is developed to realize such 3D applications that revolutionize viewing of 3D scenes. Furthermore, a new international standardization activity of FTV called MPEG-FTV started in MPEG, targeting super multiview 3D display application with wide viewing zone and free navigation application such as walk-through and fly-over perspectives of a 3D scene.
