Multi-perspective Modeling, Rendering, Imaging, and Display

(Supported by the NSF CAREER Award 0845268)


Project Overview
Camera models are fundamental to the fields of computer vision, computer graphics, and photogrammetry. The classic pinhole and orthographic camera models have long served as the workhorse of 3D imaging applications. Recent developments have suggested alternative camera models that can capture rays from spatially varying viewpoints and provide potentially advantageous imaging systems for understanding the structure of observed scenes. In this project, we aim to build a complete framework to characterize and design new multi-perspective cameras and displays, and to use these systems for vision and graphics applications.
