Abstract
We present a method for rendering novel views from a set of reference views under the assumption that scene surfaces can be approximated by planar patches. We use a set of sparse correspondences between the reference views to determine homographies through different planar patches using a clustering technique. We also obtain a segmentation of the scene in terms of planar regions visible from at least two views. Such segmentations explicitly resolve the visibility issues in novel view generation. We present results on rendering of realistic walk-through sequences for both indoor and outdoor scenes which demonstrate the applicability of our method.
