3D Representation of Image Sequences for Future Information Highways

We present a technique using image analysis/synthesis collaboration that, we think, could be used in the future in order to produce a 3D synthesisable representation (even partial) of a scene visualized in an image sequence.

Using computer vision techniques, we first analyze the image sequence in order to obtain a synthesisable 3D model which includes geometric, photometric and movement representations. Then we synthesize images from this model using a realistic rendering algorithm and use the difference between the real and synthetic images in order to improve the model quality and adapt the analysis/synthesis parts accordingly. An application of this technique to augmented reality will be shown
