Intermediate view synthesis and interpolation based on disparity calibration and region segmentation

چکیده
Since image quality of the synthesized intermediate view depends mainly on precise and dense disparity field and on detection of occlusion in multi-view applications, this paper proposes an intermediate view creation and interpolation algorithm taking advantages of transmitted and decoded disparity fields to avoid complex disparity calculation. This algorithm also combines region segmentation and disparity calibration techniques together to correct those mismatched disparities. What’s more, in the intermediate view creation, region segmentation technique is used to judge the contents of regions with occlusion and blur, and fill them depending on the disparity characteristics. Experimental results show that the constructed intermediate view images have favorite view effect. This algorithm can be used in 3D videoconference systems in which the intermediate view images have to be synthesized in real-time. Key-words: Intermediate view synthesis, Stereo image, 3D videoconference, Region segmentation, Disparity calibration, Decoded disparity field

Intermediate View Synthesis Based on Adaptive BP Algorithm and View Interpolation
This paper presents a novel intermediate view synthesis method based on adaptive belief propagation (BP) algorithm and view interpolation. First, we raise the accuracy in disparity estimation by introducing an adaptive BP algorithm. Then, image pairs are divided into three kinds of regions. Finally, intermediate view is obtained by applying a new interpolation method to each region. Experimenta...
متن کامل3-D segmentation of multi-view images based on disparity estimation
This paper presents new methods for partitioning a set of multi-view images into 3-D regions corresponding to objects in the scene in order to parse raw multi-view data into a 3-D region based structured representation. For this purpose, color, position and disparity information at each pixel are incorporated as an attributes vector into the segmentation process. We propose three methods, all o...

متن کاملDisparity Estimation using Belief Propagation for View Interpolation
In this paper, we propose a modified disparity estimation method using belief propagation (BP) for view interpolation. The view interpolation method generates an arbitrary intermediate view image with disparity. To extract disparities, we modified the BP based stereo matching algorith which solves the problem using Bayesian belief propagation. We propose two methods to improve accuracy of dispa...
متن کاملView Interpolation along a Chain of Weakly Calibrated Cameras
This paper presents an algorithm for interpolating intermediate views along a chain of cameras. There is no restriction on the camera placement as long as the distance between successive cameras is not too large. The interpolated views lie on a virtual poly-line defined by the (ordered) set of cameras. Our algorithm requires no strong camera calibration as the necessary epipolar geometry is est...
