The aim of SYNTIM project is to develop research schemes using
combination of Computer Vision and Computer Graphics techniques
in order to elaborate new solutions to problems of each
domain.
Since last year, SYNTIM project activities are focused on future
image applications in information highways. The idea consists in
trying to transmit images content information through a network
in form of 3D models incorporating geometry, photometry (and
mouvement in the future). The receptor (decoder) will have to use
a (realistic) rendering algorithm in order to generate an image
(sequence) using 3D model informations.
Research is developped in four directions :
interactive modelling
of scene geometry, photometry animation or deformation.
use of model-based
computer vision techniques in order to produce a 3D
description.
development of
realistic rendering algorithms.
augmented Reality
techniques.
