The problem addressed in this paper is related to displaying a real 3-D scene from any viewpoint. To display a scene, a relatively sparse set of 2-D reference views is stored. The images that are inbetween the reference views are obtained by interpolation of coordinates and brightness (colour). This approach is able to generate the scene representation and render images automatically and efficiently even for complex scenes of 3-D objects. This is possible since the processing time does not depend on the complexity of the scene as there is no attempt to understand the semantics of images.
