Abstract :
Recently, it is necessary to show the sight of a remote place as images. In this case, it is thought that free viewpoint 3D images are indispensable for rich presence. As the conventional technique, there are methods which use two or more cameras to take photographs, and some other methods which use several photography to generate a middle viewpoint. However, the former, it tends to become an expensive and complicated system, and the latter, there is a problem that information might be missing with occlusion. In this paper, we propose a system which uses one camera and a spin mirror to generate the free viewpoint 3D image. This system uses a method which called a light processing algorithm to make the free viewpoint 3D image from the obtained photography picture. The reliability of the proposed method is discussed in experimental result.
