Abstract
Arrangements and methods therein for supporting view synthesis. One method is performed by an arrangement which is operable to receive an input video stream comprising an input view associated with a first camera position. The method includes receiving a measure M_D of a maximum difference in depth or disparity value between two pixels in a depth or disparity map representing the depth or disparity information of a video frame of the input view. The method further includes determining a maximal distance d_cam, from the first camera position to a second camera position, based on the received measure; and indicating the determined distance d_cam to a view synthesizer. This can enable the view synthesizer to synthesize a view associated with a second camera position so that disocclusions due to the distance between the first and second camera position may be handled.
