1-5 A Study on Free-viewpoint Video Generation for Sports Scene Based on Hybrid Synthesis of Natural Textures and CG Models

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a free-viewpoint video generation method for sports scene using CG models as well as natural textures. Our proposed method detects occlusions and replaces the texture of each occluded object by the corresponding CG model seamlessly. Experimental results show that our proposed method improves the image quality of generated free-viewpoint video.
