Many video reconstruction systems seek to recreate a scene from captured video sequences but are unable to perform at interactive framerates. This project presents the optimization of such a system by utilizing a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). The specialized nature of the GPU offers many challenges in non-traditional graphics pipelines, but can offer great performance benefits. This paper presents the process by which a next-generation GPU is utilized to accelerate the visual hull reconstruction and rendering in "Cinematized Reality."
