Summary on Grant Application Form
We aim to develop new methods for manipulating film-resolution image sequences using close photogrammetry on naturally-textured parallax image multiples to derive reasonably accurate depth distances in the scene. This will be based on the further development of the stereo-pair close photogrammetry techniques developed by our IRO, the Turing Institute, as well as illumination deconstruction techniques being developed by our academic partner at Sussex. We will be using digitised film sequences for our data with a view to taking advantage of the same entities being presented with various samplings and orientations in successive images, including natural textures which are only detectable on such high-resolution images. We will need to develop new methods for reconciling 3D surfaces extracting from nearby parallax pairs to extend the surface beyond what is visible in a single shot, methods for dealing with specular illumination which if left uncorrected, can destabilise close photogrammetry but which, if taken properly into account, could aid determining the way the scene is lit, and methods for dealing with multi-layer models with transparency, e.g. spectacles on a face, and other impediments to accurate close photogrammetry. We are assuming that we will be working on low-noise high-resolution images throughout.
