A displacement-oriented view synthesis system includes a plurality of three-dimensional (3D) warping devices each coupled to receive at least one input image captured from a corresponding reference view, and each performing 3D warping on the input image to generate at least one corresponding warped image in a target view; a view blending device coupled to receive the warped images, and performing view blending on the warped images to generate at least one blended image in the target view; and an inpainting device coupled to receive the blended image, and performing inpainting on the blended image to generate a synthesized image in the target view. The inpainting is performed according to a difference displacement between frames of different views.

Displacement-oriented view synthesis system and method

A temporally consistent belief propagation system includes a disparity map buffer that provides a disparity map of a previous time; a belief propagation unit that generates an energy function according to a first image of a present time, a second image of the present time, a first image of the previous time and the disparity map of the previous time; and a disparity generating unit that generates a disparity map of the present time according to the energy function.
