Abstract
Compute-Vision technology has recently been applied to virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) for capturing real-world information via cameras, and displaying virtual information with real scenes. In this tutorial, I would like to talk about recent research topics on image-based methods for 3D modeling, rendering, and registration for VR/AR/MR applications.
