Diminished hand: A diminished reality-based work area visualization

摘要

Live instructors perspective videos are useful to present intuitive visual instructions for trainees in medical and industrial settings. In such videos, the instructors hands often hide the work area. In this demo, we present a diminished hand for visualizing the work area hidden by hands by capturing the work area with multiple cameras. To achieve the diminished reality, we use a light field rendering technique, in which light rays avoid passing through penalty points set in the unstructured light fields reconstructed from the multiple viewpoint images.
