Abstract
A method and a system of generating an image sequence of an object within a scene. According to one embodiment, the method includes capturing an image (images I) of the object with a plurality of camera systems, wherein the camera systems are positioned around the scene. Next, the method includes 2D projective transforming certain of the images (I) such that a point of interest in each of the images is at a same position as a point of interest in a first image (I) from one of the camera systems. The method further includes outputting the transformed images (I) and the first image (I) in a sequence corresponding to a positioning of the corresponding camera systems around the scene.
