3D Video examples

The background enviroment used is the same one we presented at the SIGGRAPH07 conference in the Emerging Technologies section. The system generates 3D meshes with texture packages that you can recover on-the-fly, or from the disk after generation.

Research Work

3D Video captures subject form and movements as a series of 2D images and 3-dimensional models. Capture and analyze this 2D & 3D data in a flexible capture environment. Generate 3D on the fly or with step-by-step precision in the lab.

After years of R&D at France's INRIA national scientific research center near Grenoble, 4D Views brings to international research projects a robust and easy-to-use video management and visual hull generation solution. Developed by the Perception and Moais teams in the GrImage lab, the software can be integrated with hard and soft object interaction modules such as SOFA & ODE. The platform is now being used in several research projects in North America and Europe.

The platform offers you :

  • Multi-Camera Video Management
    • Manage up to 80 video cameras with easy-to-use graphic tools.
    • Dynamically discover all the cameras connected to your system.
    • Supports many FireWire™ cameras & most resolutions. Fiber optic available.
    • Save and reuse hardware setup configuration information.
  • Fast Camera Calibration
    • Shoot video faster by spending less time on system setup.
    • Recalibrate a shifted camera in as little as 5 minutes.
    • Save and reuse calibration information.
  • Multi-Cam 2D Video Acquisition
    • Synchronize and run all cameras from a central console.
    • Monitor video results and frame sequence continuity in real-time.
  • Real-Time and Offline Visual Hull Generation
    • Generate fully textured Visual Hull sequences in Real-Time.
    • Fine tune camera placement with Visual Hull verification tools.
  • 3D Data Visualization & Transmission
    • Real-time & offline 3D Video playback.
    • Plug-in technology to stream Visual Hulls and texture information to downstream tools.
