Abstract(in English) This paper presents a new framework for immersive observation of sporting events by extending arbitrary view synthesis technique to the field of AR. In accordance with the position of a viewer, virtual view of a soccer scene is generated by view interpolation among multiple soccer movies captured at a real stadium. Then the soccer scene is overlaid onto a soccer field model in a real world via HMD. This makes it possible to watch the soccer match in front of the viewer. Projective geometry between cameras is used for virtual view generation of the soccer scene and geometric registration between the real world and the virtual soccer scene. The proposed method does not need to calibrate multiple video cameras for capturing the soccer match and the HMD camera. Therefore we can apply AR to even dynamic events in a large space and enable observation with immersive impression.
