Efficient image population from captured scene

A non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

• identifying a first point at which a world ray intersects a capture surface defined by capture points;
• identifying a capture point of the capture points closest to the first point;
• identifying a first vector based on the first point and the capture point;
• identifying a first motion vector based on the motion vectors from the two directly adjacent capture points;
• estimating a pixel location in the image data corresponding to the capture point based on a combination of the first vector and the first motion vector;
• and
• obtaining a pixel value from the estimated pixel location in the image data to populate the VR display.

A method for populating a virtual reality (VR) headset display, the method comprising:

• identifying a first point at which a world ray intersects a capture surface defined by capture points of a scene;
• identifying a capture point of the capture points closest to the first point;
• identifying a first vector based on the first point and the capture point;
• identifying a first motion vector based on the motion vectors from the two directly adjacent capture points;
• estimating a pixel location in the image data corresponding to the capture point based on a combination of the first vector and the first motion vector;
• and
• obtaining a pixel value from the estimated pixel location in the image data to populate the VR display.
