| Image-based rendering (IBR) refers to a collection of techniques and representations that allow 3D scenes and objects to be visualized in a realistic way without full 3D model reconstruction. IBR uses images as the primary substrate. The potential for photorealistic visualization has tremendous appeal, and it is thus not surprising that IBR has been receiving increasing attention over the years. Applications such as video games, virtual travel, and E-commerce stand to benefit from this technology.
Image-Based Rendering examines the theory, practice, and applications associated with image-based rendering and modeling. The authors bring together their backgrounds and research experiences in computer graphics, computer vision and signal processing to address the multi-disciplinary nature of IBR research. The topics to be covered vary from IBR basic concepts and representations on the theory side, to signal processing and data compression on the practical side. These theoretical and practical issues are further disseminated in several IBR systems built to-date. However, this book will not focus on the geometrical modeling aspect of IBR, since 3D modeling has been extensively treated elsewhere in the vision literature.
One of the only titles devoted exclusively to the area of IBR, this book is intended for researchers, professionals, and general readers interested in the topics of computer graphics, computer vision, image processing, and video processing. Advanced-level students in EECS studying related disciplines will be able to seriously expand their knowledge about image-based rendering. |

The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS4 with CSS, Ajax, and PHPDreamweaver isn’t a difficult program to use, but it’s difficult to use well. I have been using Dreamweaver on a daily basis for about nine years, pushing it to the limit and finding out its good points—and its bad ones, too. The user interface has changed considerably in Dreamweaver CS4, and the introduction of new features, such... | | Wiley Pathways Introduction to Database Management
College classrooms bring together learners from many backgrounds,
with a variety of aspirations. Although the students are in the same
course, they are not necessarily on the same path. This diversity, coupled
with the reality that these learners often have jobs, families, and
other commitments, requires a flexibility that our... | | NetBeans IDE 7 Cookbook
Welcome to the NetBeans Cookbook.
NetBeans is a Java Integrated Development Environment, IDE, which enables fast application
development with the most adopted frameworks, technologies, and servers.
Different than other IDEs, NetBeans comes already pre-packaged with a wide range of
functionality out of the box, such... |
