Estimating the term…
A stored volumetric scene model of a real scene is generated from data defining digital images of light that flows multi-directionally in the real scene forming a light field, the light interacting with different types of media that form a matter field. The digital images have been formed by a camera from one or more poses, and each digital image contains image data elements defined by stored data representing light field flux received by light sensing detectors in the camera. The digital images are processed by a scene reconstruction engine to form a digital volumetric scene model representing the real scene. The volumetric scene model (i) contains volumetric data elements defined by stored data representing one or more media characteristics and (ii) contains data elements defined by stored data representing the flux of the light field. Adjacent volumetric data elements form corridors, at least one of the volumetric data elements in at least one corridor represents media that is partially light transmissive. The constructed digital volumetric scene model data is stored in a digital data memory for subsequent uses and applications.
A scene reconstruction system for creating a digital model of a scene, the scene comprising light and different types of media that interact and about which the system lacks a priori knowledge, comprising:
A method for reconstructing a scene comprising light and different types of media that interact with no or limited a priori knowledge thereof, the method comprising:
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computer, cause the computer to perform a method for reconstructing a scene comprising light and different types of media that interact with no or limited a priori knowledge thereof, wherein the method comprises:
