Abstract: Providing a wider movement range of virtual camera is an unsolved problem for state-of-the-art image-based rendering system. In this paper, we present a new image based rendering technology called panoramic mosaics of slit images with depth that can provide large virtual camera motion region for some scenes. By limiting camera motion to a horizontal plane only,a slit image with united depth value is used as the rendering element. The panoramic mosaics of slit images with depth are easy to capture, and the data size is as small as that of panorama. We present here the capturing,construction as well as rendering process of panoramic slit images mosaic with depth. In addition, we present the join up process of multiple panoramic slit images mosaic with depth.

Key words: image based rendering (IBR),panorama,slit images
