26. Image Based Rendering Instead of building models bottom-up, use images to render new scenes Instead of building models bottom-up, use images to render new scenes If an image of a scene is captured from one angle, how would the scene look like from a slightly different angle? If an image of a scene is captured from one angle, how would the scene look like from a slightly different angle?
