High quality virtual views need to be synthesized from adjacent available views for free viewpoint video (FVV) and multiview video coding (MVC) to provide users with a more realistic 3D viewing experience of a scene. View synthesis techniques have poor rendering quality due to the occlusion and rounding integer error through warping by creating holes. To remove the holes in the virtual view the...

The proposed approach is motivated by applications which allow user navigation and individual viewpoint specification in shared virtual environments with telepresence quality. In this context, we present a synthesis method for arbitrary virtual views in a multi-view camera set-up. This method generates a close to realtime, view adaptable reconstruction of a 3dimensional, (3D), object taken from...

In trifocal transfer based novel view synthesis, matched pixels of both input views are projected in the novel view. The angle of view of this latest is usually narrow, i.e. the novel view is very close to input ones. In this paper we improve the method to get a large angle of view. A simplex approach is used to compute the model of the virtual views pose. This model allows the computation of t...

This paper is about scene modeling and image synthesis from existing views. From some known views of a 3d scene, called \reference views", we synthesize other views of the same scene, under another point of view. The outline of the whole process is simple: we rst match the reference views, then we reconstruct the matched points in projective or Euclidean space. We build the new view by projecti...

This paper addresses the problem of new view synthesis from views of a scene taken from an uncalibrated translating camera. A method for synthesis of novel views which handles occlusions is proposed and a characterisation of the viewpoints for which novel views can be synthesized using the proposed scheme is given. The proposed scheme can also be used to detect translational pan in video sequen...

We study an interactive live streaming scenario where multiple peers pull streams of the same free viewpoint video that are synchronized in time but not necessarily in view. In free viewpoint video, each user can periodically select a virtual view between two anchor camera views for display. The virtual view is synthesized using texture and depth videos of the anchor views via depth-image-based...

This study is aimed at developing view synthesis system for closed sections such as Tunnel, Bridge etc. to monitor and track the vehicle movement. For this purpose, video storage and synthesis systems were developed and demonstrated, making use of the video taken and stored in 4 web cameras. Consequently original technology has been secured but for commercialization, application to the sites wi...

In this paper, we propose a new method for synthesizing player viewpoint images from multiple view videos in tennis. Our method is divided into two key techniques: virtual-view synthesis and player’s viewpoint estimation. In the former, we divide the object tennis scene into sub regions, which are background, tennis court ground, players, and ball. For each sub region, a virtual viewpoint image...
