Parallax Photography. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, July 2009, Pages: 120
Photography is the process of making pictures by
literally ‘drawing
with light’, albeit in a limited and restricted way.
The recent
digitization of photography offers unprecedented
opportunities to
move beyond the traditional constraints of analog
photography, and
lead to the enhancement and enrichment of visual
media. In this
book, we explore one approach to addressing this
challenge,
namely, parallax photography. Our approach begins by
capturing
multiple digital photographs of a scene from
different viewpoints
exhibiting parallax. We present algorithms that find
dense
correspondences among the captured imagery, as well
as algorithms
for seamless interpolation. The approach also
embodies methods
and interfaces that identify and highlight the
interesting pieces
of the captured data, and data representations for
efficient storing
and rendering. As we show in this book, the results,
which allow re-
experiencing subtle parallax, create a more visceral
sense of
immersion in the scene than traditional photographs.
