Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

New views of a 2D image are generated by identifying an object class within the image, such as through a face detector. The face is then fitted to a model face by means of an AAM, and the results extended to a fitted 3D polygon mesh face. A boundary perimeter with predefined anchor points and a predefined triangulation with the 3D polygon mesh is defined a predefined depth distance from the depth center of known landmarks within the 3D polygon mesh face. By rotating the 3D polygon mesh face relative to the boundary perimeter, which may follow the perimeter of the input image, new views of the input image are generated.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A multi-view image synthesis method for generating multiple views of an input image, said method comprising the following steps: (a) accessing said input image, wherein said input image is a 2-dimensional (2D) image and is the only image used to generate said multiple views; (b) applying an auto-detection process to said input image for detecting a predefined object-class; (c) in response to said auto-detection process detecting a target image region wit…
