AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The technology described by this patented describes methods for generating high-quality virtual reality (VR) scenes with no depth information but only perspective differences between them. This results in highly accurate (30-50% better). Additionally, these techniques allow us to create arbitrarily shaped objects quickly while maintaining their accuracy over longer periods of time compared to traditional rendering systems like ray tracers.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed in this patented text relates to reducing computational requirements while still producing high-quality randomized views of 3D content with varying degrees of freedom like distance and angle. Existing techniques require significant amounts of computing resources, making them difficult to implement without sacrifices their effectiveness over longer periods due to variations caused by environmental conditions during production.

Abstract

An arbitrary viewpoint image generation method includes obtaining an original image set photographed by a plurality of cameras included in a camera array at each of at least one focal distance at a same time point; obtaining a multi-focus image set by generating a multi-focus image from the original image set for each of the at least one focal distance; and generating an arbitrary viewpoint image at a position where a viewpoint is to be moved from the multi-focus image set.
