Our work targets 3D scenes in motion. In this article, we propose a method for view-dependent layered representation of 3D dynamic scenes. Using densely arranged cameras, we've developed a system that can perform processing in real time from image pickup to interactive display, using video sequences instead of static images, at 10 frames per second. In our system, images on layers are view dependent, and we update both the shape and image of each layer in real time. This lets us use the dynamic layers as the coarse structure of the dynamic 3D scenes, which improves the quality of the synthesized images. In this sense, our prototype system may be one of the first full real-time image -based modelling and rendering systems. Our experimental results show that this method is useful for interactive 3D rendering of real scenes
