Intermediate View Synthesis Based on Adaptive BP Algorithm and View Interpolation

Abstract

This paper presents a novel intermediate view synthesis method based on adaptive belief propagation (BP) algorithm and view interpolation. First, we raise the accuracy in disparity estimation by introducing an adaptive BP algorithm. Then, image pairs are divided into three kinds of regions. Finally, intermediate view is obtained by applying a new interpolation method to each region. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method can synthesize virtual images with high quality and performs better than a latest method.
