Motion Reproduction of Sky and Water Surface From an Omnidirectional Still Image

Applications such as Google Street View allow users to experience the atmosphere of a place without physically being there. However, one issue with the applications is that the displayed images are still images, which lack a sense of presence when users see them in VR. In this study, we propose a method to enhance the sense of presence by focusing on sky and water areas in an omnidirectional still image and reproducing their motion for video generation.
