Abstract
We describe FreeCam - a system capable of generating live free-viewpoint video by simulating the output of a virtual camera moving through a dynamic scene. The FreeCam sensing hardware consists of a small number of static color video cameras and state-of-the-art Kinect depth sensors, and the FreeCam software uses a number of advanced GPU processing and rendering techniques to seamlessly merge the input streams, providing a pleasant user experience. A system such as FreeCam is critical for applications such as telepresence, 3D video-conferencing and interactive 3D TV. FreeCam may also be used to produce multi-view video, which is critical to drive newgeneration autostereoscopic lenticular 3D displays.
