Abstract

This paper presents a new algorithm for immersive teleconferencing, which addresses the problem of registering and blending multiple images together to create a single seamless panorama. In the immersive teleconference paradigm, one frame of the teleconference is a panorama that is constructed from a compound-image sensing device. These frames are rendered at the remote site on a projection surface that surrounds the user, creating an immersive feeling of presence and participation in the teleconference. Our algorithm efficiently creates panoramic frames for a teleconference session that are both geometrically registered and intensity blended. We demonstrate a prototype that is able to capture images from a compound-image sensor, register them into a seamless panoramic frame, and render those panoramic frames on a projection surface at 30 frames per second.
