A method includes determining, based on an image having an initial viewpoint, a depth image, and determining a foreground visibility map including visibility values that are inversely proportional to a depth gradient of the depth image. The method also includes determining, based on the depth image, a background disocclusion mask indicating a likelihood that pixel of the image will be disoccluded by a viewpoint adjustment. The method additionally includes generating, based on the image, the depth image, and the background disocclusion mask, an inpainted image and an inpainted depth image. The method further includes generating, based on the depth image and the inpainted depth image, respectively, a first three-dimensional (3D) representation of the image and a second 3D representation of the inpainted image, and generating a modified image having an adjusted viewpoint by combining the first and second 3D representation based on the foreground visibility map.

A method of information retrieval is provided. The method comprises receiving a query from a user and parsing the query in real-time as the user enters the query. The parsed query is interpreted dynamically based on a defined schema of a knowledge base, and a number of query interpretations is displayed in real-time as the user enters the query. When a selection of one of the query interpretations is received from the user information is retrieved from the knowledge base according to the selected query interpretation.
