Image Based Rendering and Illumination Using Spherical Mosaics
Abstract
The work described here extends the concentric mosaic representation developed by Shum and He to spherical mosaics that allow the viewer greater freedom of movement. Additionally, by precomputing maps for diffuse and specular lighting terms, we use high dynamic range image data to compute realistic illumination for objects that can be interactively manipulated within the scene.
