Abstract

The generation of images is done by the computation of the motion vectors representing the evolution from one image 2D to the other, directly from the co-ordinates and coefficients of geometrical transformation, of associated points in the 3D scene. The applications relate to the generation of monocular sequences by temporal interpolation and of stereoscopic sequences by extrapolation.
