Object-based encoding for multi-view sequences of 3D object

Abstract

Image-based rendering is a powerful and promising approach for a 3D object representation. This approach considers a 3D object or a scene as a collection of images called key frames taken from the reference viewpoints and generates arbitrary views of the object using these key frames. In this paper, we propose an object-based encoding method for multi-view sequences of a 3D object and a view synthesis algorithm for predicting new views using an image-based rendering approach.
