Method and apparatus for generating multiview image with hole filling

摘要

A multiview image generating method is provided. The multiview image generating method includes generating a hole image using depth information of an original image, dividing a boundary region in which a hole area of the generated hole image is in contact with a background into at least one patch, selecting an area having the most similar pixel value to a background included in the divided at least one patch, in a preset area of the original image, and filling a hole area on the divided at least one patch with a pixel value of the selected area to generate a first view image.

主权项

1. A multiview image generating method, comprising:
generating a hole image using depth information of an original image; dividing a boundary region in which a hole area of the generated hole image is in contact with a background, into a plurality of patches; selecting at least one first patch which is disposed in an area adjacent to the background from among the plurality of patches; selecting at least one second patch having a most similar pixel value to a background portion included in the at least one first patch, from an area of the original image; and filling the hole area of the at least one first patch with a pixel value which is most similar to a background portion included in the at least one second patch, to generate a first view image.
