An Image Flow Simulator

Abstract

The analysis of time-varying images is curently of great interest in computer vision. There has been a deal of work recently in the study of the 2-D image flow produced due to space motion, and the recovery of the object's 3-D structure and space motion from the flow. This report details the reverse process implemented in the form of an Image Flow Simulator; from a knowledge of structure and motion, to display the 2-D image sequence and associated flow. This 3-D graphics animation package simulates motion of objects through space and also the evolution of surface contours through time. The graphics algorithms for projection, clipping, hidden surface removal, shading and animation are described in this report.
