Abstract
This paper describes a new Image Based Rendering technique aimed at increasing the realism of textured
cylindrical surfaces by adding 3D details and enhancing the depth conceived by the viewer. Cylindrical relief
texture mapping extends the existing work on planar relief textures by using cylinders as warp surfaces. After
mapping the planar relief texture to a reference cylinder, cylindrical warping equations are used to generate an
intermediate image for texture mapping the reference cylinder and introducing motion parallax. The strength of
the technique is demonstrated by the visual realism provided, with examples showing how the proposed method
can be used for generating depth enhanced panoramas and improved endoscopic simulations.
