The present disclosure relates to method and apparatus for the estimation of an accurate multiplane image from a set of posed images. The accuracy of an MPI representation is measured by the performance of the views generated by it through inverse homography sampling and alpha compositing. A variable number of posed images at a possibly different resolution representative of scenes with arbitrary geometry are used as input of the system. A first level of three modules, possibly trained based on deep learning methods, is built for extracting view and scene features and color scores. Numerous levels of the same three modules may be built and organized in a structure where a level deals with down-scaled version of the posed images.

Multiview multiscale methods and apparatus for view synthesis

An apparatus and a method are provided for image processing. In one embodiment, the method comprises accessing a plurality of images captured by at least a reference camera, wherein the images represent a plurality of views corresponding to said same scene. A plurality of plane sweep volume (PSV) slices are then generated from said images and computing for each slice a flow map from at least the reference camera calibration parameter and this flow map a previous slice of the plane sweep volume is generated.
