FILLING DISOCCLUSIONS IN A VIRTUAL VIEW

摘要

In accordance with a first aspect, filling disocclusions in a virtual view video has identifying a background portion of a first virtual view image of the virtual view video based on a depth/disparity map associated with a first virtual view image, updating a background sprite image based on the background portion of a first virtual view image, and filling a disoccluded area of a second virtual view image of the virtual view video based on a corresponding portion of the background sprite image. According to a second aspect, filling a disoccluded area in a virtual view image is performed by patch-based texture synthesis being responsive to a depth/disparity map associated with a virtual view image.
