Image-Based Deformation of Objects in Real Scenes

We present a new method for deforming an object in a static real scene, which interacts with animated synthetic characters. Unlike the existing method - making a new synthetic object to substitute for the interacting object in the real scene, we directly deform the object in image space using an image-warping technique with assistance from a simplified 3D sub-model. The deformed image sequence is processed further using the Expression Ratio Image (ERI) technique to apply the illumination changes generated by the deformation. Using this method, we can maintain the photo-realistic rendering quality of the scene efficiently by preserving the appearance of the object in the real scene as it is.
