Detailed Geometry and Appearance from Opportunistic Motion
Reconstructing 3D geometry and appearance from a sparse set of fixed cameras is a foundational task with broad applications, yet it remains fundamentally constrained by the limited viewpoints. We show that this bound can be broken by exploiting opportunistic object motion: as a person manipulates an object~(e.g., moving a chair or lifting a mug), the static cameras effectively ``orbit'' the object in its local coordinate frame, providing additional virtual viewpoints. Harnessing this object motion, however, poses two challenges: the tight coupling of object pose and geometry estimation and the complex appearance variations of a moving object under static illumination. We address these by ...
