Fast multi-view three-dimensional image synthesis apparatus and method

摘要

A fast multi-view three-dimensional image synthesis apparatus includes: a disparity map generation module for generating a left image disparity map by using left and right image pixel data; intermediate-view generation modules for generating intermediate-view pixel data from different view points by using the left and right image pixel data and the left image disparity map; and a multi-view three-dimensional image generation module for generating multi-view three-dimensional image pixel data by using the left image pixel data, the right image pixel data and intermediate-view pixel data. Each of the intermediate-view generation module includes: a right image disparity map generation unit for generating a rough right image disparity map; an occluded region compensation unit for generating a right image disparity map by removing occluded regions from the rough right image disparity map; and an intermediate-view generation unit for generating the intermediate-view pixel data from the different view points.
