    Generation of Omnidirectional Image Without Photographer

    In order to create a virtual reality (VR) space using omnidirectional images, it is desirable to use images without the photographer’s inclusion. In this study, we propose a method to generate an omnidirection...

    Ultra-Shallow DoF Imaging Using Faced Paraboloidal Mirrors

    We propose a new imaging method that achieves an ultra-shallow depth of field (DoF) to clearly visualize a particular depth in a 3-D scene. The key optical device consists of a pair of faced paraboloidal mirro...

    AR image generation using view-dependent geometry modification and texture map**

    Augmented reality (AR) applications often require virtualized real objects, i.e., virtual objects that are built based on real objects and rendered from an arbitrary viewpoint. In this paper, we propose a meth...

    From Image Inpainting to Diminished Reality

    Image inpainting, which removes undesired objects in a static image and fills in the missing regions with plausible textures, has been developed in the research fields of image processing. On the other hand, D...

    Generation of a Super-Resolved Stereo Video Using Two Synchronized Videos with Different Magnifications

    In this paper, we address the problem of changing the optical zoom magnification of stereo video that uses a stereo camera system with 4K or 8K digital cameras. We proposes a solution for generating a zoomed s...

    Generation of an Omnidirectional Video without Invisible Areas Using Image Inpainting

    Omnidirectional cameras usually cannot capture the entire direction of view due to a blind side. Thus, such an invisible part decreases realistic sensation in a telepresence system. In this study, an omnidirec...
