Abstract:
1. One or more computer-readable media having stored thereon a computer program that, when executed by one or more processors of the computer, causes the one or more processors to perform acts including: identifying a plurality of viewing rays to be used to construct, based on previously captured concentric mosaics, a view image of a scene represented by the concentric mosaics; checking whether each of the plurality of viewing rays coincides with at least a portion of a captured image; for each viewing ray that coincides with at least a portion of a captured image, selecting the portion of the captured image; for each viewing ray that does not coincide with at least a portion of a captured image, generating an interpolated portion by interpolating between at least two portions of one or more captured images based on a constant distance to objects in the scene; and combining the selected and interpolated portions to generate the view image.
