Automated Layout Synthesis and Visualization from Images of Interior or Exterior Spaces

摘要

Recent work in computer graphics has explored the synthesis of indoor spaces with furniture, accessories, and other layout items. In this work, we bridge the gap between the physical and virtual worlds: Given an input image of an interior or exterior space, and a general user specification of the desired furnishings and layout constraints, our method automatically furnishes the scene with a realistic arrangement and displays it to the user by augmenting the original image. Our method can deal with varying layouts and target arrangements at interactive rates, which affords the user a sense of collaboration with the design program, enabling the rapid visual assessment of various layout designs, a process which would typically be time consuming if done manually. Our method is suitable for smartphones and other camera-enabled mobile devices.
