Abstract

We present our toolchain of free-viewpoint video and dynamic scene reconstruction for video and stereoscopic content creation. Our tools take video data from set of sparse unsynchronized cameras and give great freedom during the post production. From input data we can either generate new viewpoints employing the Virtual Video Camera a purely image based system or generate 3D scene models. The approaches are explained and guidelines for weighing their specific advantages and disadvantages in respect to a concrete application are given.
