Abstract
3D structure recovery techniques have intensively been studied as a fundamental technology in the computer vision research field. The application area of computer vision has also been extended into various topics, such as visual media contents creation, virtual reality interface, etc. This article focuses on the 3D structure recovery techniques. First, an overview of the technology of 3D structure recovery is given. Then, two example application topics of the 3D structure recovery are presented with the author's recent researches. One is free-viewpoint video synthesis techniques, and another is augmented reality techniques.
