摘要:
A method renders a model of a 3D object. A polygon model of the 3D object is generated, and a set of input images are acquired of the object. For each vertex of the polygon model, a set of visible views are located, and a set of closest views are selected from the visibility views. Blending weights are determined for each closest view. Then, the each polygon in the model is rendered into an output image. The rendering is performed by blending images of the set of input images corresponding to the set of closest views of each vertex of the polygon using the blending weights.

A method and system acquire and display light fields. A continuous light field is reconstructed from input samples of an input light field of a 3D scene acquired by cameras according to an acquisition parameterization. The continuous light is reparameterized according to a display parameterization and then prefiltering and sampled to produce output samples having the display parametrization. The output samples are displayed as an output light field using a 3D display device.

The invention provides a system and method for modeling small three-dimensional facial features, such as wrinkles and pores. A scan of a face is acquired. A polygon mesh is constructed from the scan. The polygon mesh is reparameterized to determine a base mesh and a displacement image. The displacement image is partitioned into a plurality of tiles. Statistics for each tile are measured. The statistics is modified to deform the displacement image and the deformed displacement image is combined with the base mesh to synthesize a novel face.

A method and system extracts a matte from images acquired of a scene. A foreground image focused at a foreground in a scene, a background image focused at a background in the scene, and a pinhole image focused on the entire scene are acquired. These three images can be acquired sequentially by a single camera, or simultaneous by three cameras. In the later case, foreground, background and pinhole sequences of images can be acquired. The pinhole image is compared to the foreground image and the background image to extract a matte representing the scene. The comparison classifies pixels in the images as foreground, background, or unknown pixels. An optimizer minimizes an error function in the form of Fourier image equations using a gradient descent method. The error function expresses pixel intensity differences.

The continuous light is reparameterized according to a display parameterization and then prefiltering and sampled to produce output samples having the display parametrization. The output samples are displayed as an output light field using a 3D display device. The reconstruction can be performed by interpolating the input samples having the different views.

A method models a three-dimensional object by first acquiring alpha mattes of the object for multiple viewpoints. The alpha mattes are then projected onto a surface hull completely enclosing the object to construct an opacity hull storing opacity values of the surface of the object. The object is illuminated for various lighting conditions while images are acquired. The images are projected onto the opacity hull to render the object under arbitrary lighting conditions for arbitrary viewpoints.

A system digitizes a three-dimensional object as a three-dimension model by placing the object on a turntable while taking two sets of corresponding images. The first set of images and the second set of images are obtained while rotating the turntable to a various positions and illuminated the object with the overhead lights and backlights. There is a one to one correspondence for images in each set for each position of the turntable. Object shape data and texture data are respectively extracted from the first and second set of images. The object shape data is correlated with the object texture data to construct the three-dimensional digital model stored in a memory of a computer system.
摘要:
In an object generation system, consumable base materials are characterized in a characterization process wherein an object generation system can use a plurality of so-characterized base materials. User input representing a desired object and set of characteristics for that desired object are processed, using a computer or computing device, to derive a mapping of locations for placement of portions of the plurality of base materials such that when the mapping is provided to an object generator, the generated object approximates the representing a desired object and set of characteristics. The characterization of a base material might include elasticity of the base material, the user input might be a desired shape and elasticity, the object generator might be a 3D multi-material printer and the generated object might at least approximate the desired shape and elasticity as a result of being constructed from the plurality of base materials used by the printer.
