Abstract
A virtual view of a scene may be generated through the use of various systems and methods. In one exemplary method, from a tiled array of cameras, image data may be received. The image data may depict a capture volume comprising a scene volume in which a scene is located. A viewing volume may be defined. A virtual occluder may be positioned at least partially within the capture volume such that a virtual window of the virtual occluder is between the viewing volume and the scene. A virtual viewpoint within the viewing volume may be selected. A virtual view may be generated to depict the scene from the virtual viewpoint.
