Readme Interpolate
This is preliminary documentation for
PTInterpolate, the true view interpolator
of the PanoTools package. It is not just a morpher,
but a tool to create physically real intermediate views
between images of the same scene taken from different viewpoints.
This includes facilities to handle occlusions and
create movies. Its many features will be described
in an upcoming article. It requires an installation of
my free PanoTools program
(http://www.fh-furtwangen.de/~dersch).
Basic Steps:
============
Start 'PTPicker', and open the file 'Project_interpolate' from the
File menu. Alternatively, you can drop it onto PTPickers
icon. In the menu 'Images' you will find a list of 2 images
belonging to this project. You can open images from the
list for viewing and setting control points, or triangles.
For now, leave the images and points unchanged, since these
have already been set.
Open the 'Project' menu and select 'Interpolate' in the 'Project'
menu. You will be asked for a name of the result files.
Choose a new separate folder since many images will be created.
After clicking ok, PTInterpolate creates 20 frames which
interpolating the two images. You can create a linear
Quicktime movie from these frames using Apples free utility
'ConvertToMovie'.
More details will be described in a future article.
