View Synthesis along a Curve from Two Uncalibrated Views

This paper presents a generic framework for novel view synthesis from two uncalibrated reference views that allows to move a virtual camera along a curve that is obtained starting from the epipolar geometry of the reference views. The scene is described by its relative affine structure from which novel views are extrapolated and interpolated. The main contribution of this paper is an automatic method for specifying virtual camera locations in an uncalibrated setting. Experiments with synthetic and real images illustrate the approach.
