Volumetric Video Capture Using Unsynchronized, Low-Cost Cameras

Volumetric video can be used in virtual and augmented reality applications to show detailed animated performances by human actors. In this paper, we describe a volumetric capture system based on a photogrammetry cage with unsynchronized, low-cost cameras which is able to generate high-quality geometric data for animated avatars. This approach requires, inter alia, a subsequent synchronization of the captured videos.
