Abstract

In general, excessive colorimetric and geometric errors in multi-view images induce visual fatigue to users. Various works have been proposed to reduce these errors, but conventional works have only been available for stereoscopic images while requiring cumbersome additional tasks, and often showing unstable results. In this paper, we propose an effective multi-view image refinement algorithm. The proposed algorithm analyzes such errors in multi-view images from sparse correspondences and compensates them automatically. While the conventional works transform every view to compensate geometric errors, the proposed method transforms only the source views with consideration of a reference view. Therefore this approach can be extended regardless of the number of views. In addition, we also employ uniform view intervals to provide consistent depth perception among views. We correct color inconsistency among views from the correspondences by considering importance and channel properties. Various experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms conventional approaches and generates more visually comfortable multi-view images.
