Graphics and Vision • Computer graphics is the forward problem: given scene geometry, reflectances and lighting, synthesize an image. • Computer vision must address the inverse problem: given an image/multiple images, reconstruct the scene geometry, reflectacnes and illumination.
Image-based Modeling Recover Models of Real World Scenes and Make Possible Various Visual Interactions • Vary viewpoint • Vary lighting • Vary scene configuration
Image-based Modeling • 1st Generation---- vary viewpoint but not lighting • Acquire photographs • Recover geometry (explicit or implicit) • Texture map
Recovering geometry • Historical roots in photogrammetry and analysis of 3D cues in human vision • Single images adequate given knowledge of object class • Multiple images make the problem easier, but not trivial as corresponding points must be identified.

Image-based Modeling • 2nd Generation---- vary viewpoint and lighting • Recover geometry & reflectance properties • Render using light transport simulation or local shading Original Lighting & Viewpoint Novel Lighting & Viewpoint
Inverse Global Illumination (Yu et al) Reflectance Properties Radiance Maps Light Sources Geometry
Image-based Modeling • 3rd Generation--Vary spatial configurations in addition to viewpoint and lighting Novel Viewpoint Novel Viewpoint & Configuration
Input Multiple range scans of a scene Multiple photographs of the same scene Output Geometric meshes of each object in the scene Registered texture maps for objects Our Framework

Continuing Challenges • Finding correspondences automatically • Optimal estimation of structure from n views under perspective projection • Models of reflectance and texture for natural materials and objects
