- Abstract
- In this paper, we propose a new method for generating an image-based 3D panoramic virtual environment (VE). The panoramic VE is generated using 3D depth information estimated from rotating two multiview cameras. Even though conventional 2D image-based mosaicking methods provide a wide view, they have limitations in providing a user with a navigation-enabled virtual environment. In order to resolve such obstacles, we first estimate the depth of the scene using two calibrated multiview cameras and then stitch 3D point clouds instead of images. By rotating two cameras using a turn-table it enables users to navigate the resulting 3D virtual environment with HMD.
