Arbitrary view generation based on DIBR

An efficient depth image based rendering (DIBR) for generating arbitrary novel views is proposed. The proposed method fills the holes by preprocessing depth images and merging two desired images. In order to solve the visibility problem, the pixels in reference image are processed in an occlusion-compatible order. Furthermore, the reference images are corrected before 3D image warping so as to reduce the edge artifacts. Experimental results have show that the proposed method can provide a satisfactory image quality.
