ABSTRACT
We describe DynaFusion, a modeling system for interactive impossible objects. Impossible objects are defined as multiple 3D polygonal meshes with edge visibility information and a set of constraints that define pointwise relationships between the meshes. A user can easily create such models with our modeling tool. The back-end of our system is a constraint solver that seamlessly combines multiple meshes in a projected 2D domain with 3D line orientations and that maintains coherence for each successive viewpoint, thereby allowing the user to rotate the impossible object without losing visual continuity of the edges. We believe that our system will stimulate the creation of innovative artworks.

Stick textures for image-based rendering
Special issue on SPM 05This paper presents a new data structure, called stick textures, to give a continuous and compact 3D representation of the scene displayed in depth images. A stick texture is constructed for each pixel of a depth image, composed of the interpolated ...
What Is the Set of Images of an Object Under All Possible Illumination Conditions?
The appearance of an object depends on both the viewpoint from which it is observed and the light sources by which it is illuminated. If the appearance of two objects is never identical for any pose or lighting conditions, then-in theory-the objects can ...
The Bas-Relief Ambiguity
When an unknown object with Lambertian reflectance is viewed orthographically, there is an implicit ambiguity in determining its 3-d structure: we show that the object‘s visible surface f(x, y) is indistinguishable from a generalized bas-relief ...
