A depth image-based rendering (DIBR) approach with advanced inpainting methods is
presented. The DIBR algorithm can be used in 3-D video applications to synthesize a …

We present a novel formulation of exemplar-based inpainting as a global energy
optimization problem, written in terms of the offset map. The proposed energy function …

View synthesis with depth-image-based rendering (DIBR) has attracted great interest in that
it can provide a virtual image at any arbitrary viewpoint in 3-D video and free-viewpoint TV …

Free-viewpoint rendering (FVR) has become a popular topic in 3-D research. A promising
technology in FVR is to generate virtual views using a single texture image and the …

The depth image based rendering (DIBR) plays a key role in 3D video synthesis, by which
other virtual views can be generated from a 2D video and its depth map. However, in the …

Stereo matching has become an active area of research in the field of computer vision. In
minimally invasive surgery, stereo matching provides depth information to surgeons, with the …

Six degrees-of-freedom (6-DoF) video provides telepresence by enabling users to move
around in the captured scene with a wide field of regard. Compared to methods requiring …

View synthesis allows observers to explore static scenes using aligned color images and
depth maps captured in a preset camera path. Among the options, depth-image-based …

Landmarks provide the most predominant navigation cue for pedestrian navigation. Very few
navigation data models in the geographical information science and transportation …

This paper proposes a disocclusion inpainting framework for depth-based view synthesis. It
consists of four modules: foreground extraction, motion compensation, improved …
