A Method of Generating of Solid Models from a Single Landscape Image for TIP

Abstract

"Tour Into the Picture (TIP)" is one of Image-based rendering method for actualizing walk-through from a single image. This paper proposes a method of constructing three dimensional space from a single landscape image using TIP. A problem of TIP is to be incapable with large movement of viewpoint because foreground objects are at plates. To solve the problem of TIP, the proposed method generates solid models of foreground objects, and constructs three dimensional space with the models and a background image. An experiment was carried out, and the result shows that reasonable three dimensional space is constructed from a landscape image.
