METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMAGE WARPING

摘要

A method and apparatus for image warping are provided. The image warping apparatus comprises a shielded area management unit for generating shielded area information based on a stereo source image; and an image processing unit which interpolates variations of the shielded area information based on rare variation information of the stereo source image, and separates a shielded area and a non-shielded area when mesh warping the stereo source image to generate a virtual intermediate viewpoint image by using the result of the shielded area information reconstruction according to the variation-interpolated shielded area information.
