Method and System for Backward 3D-View Synthesis Prediction using Neighboring Blocks

摘要

Videos of a scene are processed for view synthesis. The videos are acquired by corresponding cameras arranged so that a view of each camera overlaps with the view of at least one other camera. For each current block, motion or disparity vector is obtained from neighboring blocks. A depth block is based on a corresponding reference depth image and the motion or disparity vector. A prediction block is generated based on the depth block using backward warping. Then, predictive coding for the current block using the prediction block.
