Abstract

Against the ghosting and holes problem, this study proposes a novel method of depth-image-based view synthesis. First, we present a simultaneous rendering mechanism to generate the depth and image of virtual view at the same time, and then erase the ghosting by the depth comparison. Secondly, by means of depth-based hole filling and boundary treatment, we remove the holes in virtual view and boundary distortion. Experimental results show that, the PSNR of virtual view using this method is 2dB higher than that using MPEG-3DV/FTV reference method.
