Real-time dynamic scene modeling and rendering

想象一下，你坐在客厅里观看NHL比赛。你有一个巨大的屏幕和环绕声系统，这让你觉得你是在溜冰场边。在某些方面，它可能比观看溜冰场更好-你可以自由地暂停比赛，当你去喝一杯，当你回来时恢复，这是可能的，因为新的电视系统可以本地存储信号，并在你想要的时候播放它们。然而，你不也想自由地控制你的观点，这样你就可以从你最喜欢的地方观看比赛，甚至冻结的行动时，有人得分和重播的场景从不同的角度？拟议的研究计划旨在使这成为下一代电视系统的现实。

Imagine that you are sitting in your living room watching a live NHL game. You have a giant screen and a surround sound system, which make you feel as if you are rink-side. In some aspects, it may be better than watching rink-side -- you have the freedom to pause the game when you go for a drink and resume when you return, which is possible because newer television systems can locally store the signals and play them when you want. However, don't you also want to have the freedom to control your viewpoint so that you can watch the game from your favorite spot, or even freeze the action when someone scores and replay the scene from different perspectives? The proposed research program aims at making this a reality for the next generation of television systems.
