Morphable 3D-Mosaics: A Hybrid Framework for Photorealistic Walkthroughs of Large Natural Environments

Figure 2

A geometric depth map ${𝒵}_k$ of a local model is shown on the left (this map is assumed to be defined only over region ${ℛ}_k$ on the image plane). By combining this geometric map with a photometric map, a local 3D model can be created, which can be used for providing rendered views of the scene around the key-position of the local model. One such view is shown here.
