We present a new method for synthesizing novel views of a 3D scene from few model images in full correspondence. The core of this work is the derivation of a tensorial operator that describes the transformation from a given tensor of three views to a novel tensor of a new configuration of three views. By repeated application of the operator on a seed tensor with a sequence of desired virtual ca...

Virtual view synthesis is an essential part of computer vision and 3D applications. A high-quality depth map is the main problem with virtual view synthesis. Because as compared to the color image the resolution of the corresponding depth image is low. In this paper, an efficient and confided method based on the gradual omission of outliers is proposed to compute reliable depth values. In the p...

Virtual Reality and Free Viewpoint navigation require high-quality rendered images to be realistic. Current hardware assisted raytracing methods cannot reach the expected quality in real-time are also limited by 3D mesh quality. An alternative is Depth Image Based Rendering (DIBR) where input only consists of their associated depth maps for synthesizing virtual views Head Mounted Display (HMD)....

We present a new method for synthesizing novel views of a 3D scene from two or three reference images in full correspondence. The core of this work is the use and manipulation of an algebraic entity termed the trilinear tensor that links point correspondences across three images. For a given virtual camera position and orientation, a new trilinear tensor can be computed based on the original te...

Given a set of real images, Novel View Synthesis (NVS) aims to produce views of a scene that would correspond to that of a virtual camera. There exist many approaches to solving this problem. We consider physically valid NVS methods, in particular those based on epipolar and trifocal transfer. We review a number of methods and place them into a common framework of view specification and mapping...

Considerable improvements of information technologies (IT) allow consumers to enjoy various forms of multimedia services. Recently, 3D video has been established as a new format that provides more realistic and natural experiences to users by free-viewpoint TV (FTV). One of the main challenges is about rendering continuous viewpoint images using color and depth information. Thus, image interpol...

In this paper, we propose a new method for real-time disparity estimation and intermediate view synthesis from stereoscopic images. Some 3D video systems employ both the left and right depth images for virtual view synthesis; however, we estimate only one disparity map at a virtual viewpoint. In addition, we utilize hierarchical belief propagation and convergence check methods to find the globa...
