Novel view synthesis

Imagine taking a few pictures of a scene with a camera at several different poses, can we generate a novel image that corresponds to a virtual viewpoint where no real camera has captured an image? This is the topic of novel view synthesis. Highly driven by the commercial market in the last decade, there appears a thriving interest on this topic in both the computer graphics community and the computer vision community. The potential applications of which can be found ranging from generating photo-realistic images, the creation of virtual environments, to modelling real three dimensional scenes.EThOS - Electronic Theses Online ServiceGBUnited Kingdo
