This article provides a comprehensive survey on pioneer and state-of-the-art 3D scene
geometry estimation methodologies based on single, two, or multiple images captured …

Virtual reality (VR) offers an artificial, computer generated simulation of a real life
environment. It originated in the 1960s and has evolved to provide increasing immersion …

We introduce a method to convert stereo 360^ ∘ (omnidirectional stereo) imagery into a
layered, multi-sphere image representation for six degree-of-freedom (6DoF) rendering …

Virtual reality headsets are becoming increasingly popular, yet it remains difficult for casual
users to capture immersive 360° VR panoramas. State-of-the-art approaches require …

Designing a fully integrated 360° video camera supporting 6DoF head motion parallax
requires overcoming many technical hurdles, including camera placement, optical design …

We propose a learning-based approach for novel view synthesis for multi-camera 360^ ∘∘
panorama capture rigs. Previous work constructs RGBD panoramas from such data …

We present a new data-driven approach for extracting geometric and structural information
from a single spherical panorama of an interior scene, and for using this information to …

We investigate how real-time, 360° view synthesis can be achieved on current virtual reality
hardware from a single panoramic image input. We introduce a light-weight method to …

Nowadays 360° cameras, capable to capture full environments in a single shot, are
increasingly being used in a variety of Extended Reality (XR) applications that require …

We provide an overview of the concerns, current practice, and limitations for capturing,
reconstructing, and representing the real world visually within virtual reality. Given that our …
