Abstract:
A method of generating user-selectable novel views of an event on a viewing device includes reconstructing by a server system for each camera image data into at least one foreground model for the respective camera and an environment model for the respective camera; joining by the server system the foreground model for each camera to create a visual atlas of all foreground models; creating by the server system foreground mapping data for foreground image data in the visual atlas; creating by the server system environment mapping data for environment image data in each respective environment model; transmitting by the server system each compressed data in a sequence it was compressed; receiving by the viewing device all compressed data; uncompressing by the viewing device all compressed data; selecting by a user the novel view; and rendering by the viewing device each novel view.

Claim (Index 10):
An interactive-player system for generating user-selectable novel views of an event on a viewing device, the multi-view reconstruction system comprising:\n a server system and a viewing device; the server system\n (a) reconstructing for each camera of a plurality of cameras image data into at least one foreground model for the respective camera and at least one environment model for the respective camera; \n (b) joining the at least one foreground model for each camera to create a visual atlas of all foreground models; \n (c) creating foreground mapping data for foreground image data in the visual atlas to a 3D coordinate in a 3D data representation; \n (d) projecting environment image data of all cameras for each camera onto each respective environment model; \n (e) creating environment mapping data for environment image data in each respective environment model to a 3D coordinate in a 3D data representation; \n (f) saving for each camera the respective environment model as an environment image; \n (g) compressing the foreground mapping data, the environment mapping data, and a depth map; \n (h) inserting the visual atlas into each respective environment model as a new image frame in an image sequence by projecting background rasters on each respective environment model; \n (i) compressing the visual atlas; \n (j) compressing the respective environment images and the respective environment models; \n (k) transmitting each compressed data in a sequence it was compressed; \n the viewing device\n receiving all compressed data; \n uncompressing all compressed data; \n selecting by a user on the viewing device the novel view; and \n rendering by the viewing device the respective environment images onto the respective environment models for each novel view.
