The volume determined from such sparse inputs using previous methods appears blurry and unnatural with novel views; however, the new method preserves the appearance of novel viewing angles by transferring the appearance information from input images to novel viewing angles. For appearance information, the authors use histograms of image intensities and steerable coefficients. They formulate the volume modeling as an energy minimization problem with statistical hard constraints, which is solved using an expectation maximization (EM)-like iterative algorithm.
