Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new pipeline to synthesize virtual views. It allows us to generate virtual views far away from each other, each presenting the exact same level of quality. This inter-view consistency is key to seamlessly navigate between viewpoints. Its computational cost is also lower than that of existing approaches. We compare the proposed approach with state-of-the-art methods and show the effectiveness of this new view synthesis pipeline.

Results

Free-Viewpoint Video for the sequences Ballet and BreakDancers.
Four viewpoints have been generated (two on the left, two on the right-hand side of the reference view). (Reference view=5, projected into 3, 4, 6 and 7 viewpoints) The quality of disoccluded areas is constant whatever the viewpoint. These results can be retrieved by running the software publicly available in the next section.

Six viewpoints are here generated (Reference view=5, projected into 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7 viewpoints):
