Summary:We propose a generic algorithm for the geometrically correct
reconstruction of 3-D scenes on stereo displays with viewpoint
adaptation. This forms the basis of multiviewpoint systems, which are
currently the most promising candidates for real-time implementations of
3-D visual communication systems. The reconstruction algorithm needs 3-D
tracking of the viewers' eyes with respect to the display. We analyze
the effect of eye-tracking errors. A simple bound is derived, below
which reconstruction errors cannot be observed. We design a
multiviewpoint system using a recently introduced image-based scene
representation. The design formed the basis of the real-time
multiviewpoint system that was recently built in the European PANORAMA
project. Experiments with both natural and synthetic scenes show that
the proposed reconstruction algorithm performs well. The experiments are
performed by computer simulations and the real-time PANORAMA
system
