3D Visual Modeling with Wide View Images

Technology Description: Inventors at UC San Diego have invented a system to extract the 3D geometrical structure of a scene and generate a novel view simultaneously at exactly the user's specified viewpoint. The invention also enables smooth virtual walkthroughs at a remote scene with a distributed computational framework. With this invention, the camera configuration can be arbitrary and with a wide baseline.

This inventions has the following benefits:

  • More efficient extraction of 3D data.
  • Allows dynamic walkthroughs in realtime.
  • Geometric validity.

The invention can be applied to:

  • Virtual tours
  • Entertainment
  • Surveillance

Keywords: modeling, simulation, surveillance, security, animation, augmented reality, human-machine interfaces
