Abstract
A method of generating an image of a scene from a target viewpoint is provided. The method comprises capturing a plurality of multi-plane images of a virtual scene, and determining for each multi-plane image, whether a frontmost clipping plane pair defined for that multi-plane image intersects a virtual object in the virtual scene. Responsive to a positive determination for a respective clipping plane pair, the corresponding image data in the corresponding image plane is identified and assigned an identifier, thus generating a modified version of the corresponding multi-plane image. Camera information is obtained for the one or more virtual cameras that captured the multi-plane images and the target virtual camera. An output image is then generated by combining at least one of the modified multi-plane images with another of the multi-plane images in accordance with the obtained camera information. A corresponding system is also provided.
