Abstract
This paper introduces a novel method of surface refinement for free-viewpoint video of dynamic scenes. Unlike previous approaches, the method presented here uses both visual hull and silhouette contours to constrain refinement of viewdependent depth maps from wide baseline views. A technique for extracting silhouette contours as rims in 3D from the view-dependent visual hull (VDVH) is presented. A new method for improving correspondence is introduced, where refinement of the VDVH is posed as a global problem in projective ray space. Artefacts of global optimisations are reduced by incorporating rims as constraints. Real time rendering of virtual views in a free-viewpoint video system is achieved using an image+depth representation for each real view. Results illustrate the high quality of rendered views achieved through this refinement technique.
