Plenoptic Condensation: A Novel Approach to Generalized Scene Reconstruction
We present a novel Generalized Scene Reconstruction (GSR) approach called Plenoptic Condensation (PCon). PCon uses a multi-stage reconstruction pipeline, initially converting images into "soupy" scene elements with low (representational) power, then adaptively condensing the "soup" into "structured" elements of higher power capable of efficiently representing, for example, sharp edges and smooth reflective surfaces. PCon scene models called Reality Models (Relms) enable spatially varying representational power, which is essential for high-fidelity rendering, measurement, and scene understanding. We showcase several in-the-wild PCon reconstructions captured with consumer phone cameras and ...
