Abstract
A canvas generation system generates a canvas view of a scene based on a set of original camera views depicting the scene, for example to recreate a scene in virtual reality. Canvas views can be generated based on a set of synthetic views generated from a set of original camera views. Synthetic views can be generated, for example, by shifting and blending relevant original camera views based on an optical flow across multiple original camera views. An optical flow can be generated using an iterative method which individually optimizes the optical flow vector for each pixel of a camera view and propagates changes in the optical flow to neighboring optical flow vectors.
