Lively Free-Viewpoint Video Generation Using Video Textures

EasyChair Preprint 6674

Abstract

This paper describes a method for generating free-viewpoint video that can express the liveliness. One of the problems with conventional free-viewpoint video is that it is difficult to express liveliness in a free-viewpoint video because the subject is observed as a static object. We focus on “motion” as one of the factors for expressing liveliness. The proposed method adds liveliness to a static 3D model by minute movements of the body surface expressed by change in texture. The 3D model is generated from multi-viewpoint images, followed by projecting video textures to the model with randomness in the motion.

Keyphrases: Free Viewpoint Video, Liveliness, Structure from Motion, facial expressions, video textures
