We introduce the problem of view interpolation for dynamic scenes. Our solution to this problem extends the concept of view morphing [11] and retains the practical advantages of that method. We are specifically concerned with interpolating between two reference views captured at different times, so that there is a missing interval of time between when the views were taken. The synthetic interpolations produced by our algorithm portray one possible physically-valid version of what transpired in the scene during the missing time. It is assumed that each object in the original scene underwent a series of rigid translations. Dynamic view morphing can work with widely-spaced reference views, sparse point correspondences, and uncalibrated cameras. When the camera-to-camera transformation can be determined, the synthetic interpolation will portray scene objects moving along straightline, constant-velocity trajectories in world space., |
