Abstract
An image synthesis apparatus comprises a receiver () for receiving image parts and associated depth data of images representing a scene from different view poses from an image source. A store () stores a depth transition metric for each image part of a set of image parts where the depth transition metric for an image part is indicative of a direction of a depth transition in the image part. A determiner () determines a rendering view pose and an image synthesizer () synthesizes at least one image from received image part. A selector is arranged to select a first image part of the set of image parts in response to the depth transition metric and a retriever () retrieves the first image part from the image source. The synthesis of an image part for the rendering view pose is based on the first image part.
