The objective of the ACTS PANORAMA project is to enhance the visual information exchange in telecommunications with 3-D telepresence.

This page shows results of a Converter, that converts the PANORAMA scene description sd(k) to a VRML file, as depicted in the following figure. The animation parameters are estimated using image processing.

Model of Ludo with manually grouped triangles (head+body+arms) and motion from original sequence estimated by the global motion estimation. The model was created automaticly using the PANORAMA image analysis software.
