Abstract

Depth image-based rendering (DIBR) is generally used to synthesize virtual view images in free viewpoint television (FTV) and three-dimensional (3-D) video. One of the main problems in DIBR is how to fill the holes caused by disocclusion regions and inaccurate depth values. In this paper, we propose a new hole filling method using a depth based in-painting technique. Experimental results show that the proposed hole filling method provides improved rendering quality both objectively and subjectively.
