Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for generating an image, which may generate a new viewpoint image using few-shot 2D images and is characterized by extracting and learning albedo representing intrinsic color information from the few-show 2D input images, intrinsically decomposing a color value synthesized in the form of patch from a new viewpoint using the few-shot 2D input images and extracting patch-wise albedo during learning, perform geometric alignment necessary for pixel correspondence between a new viewpoint image and a selected 2D input image using a depth value synthesized in the form of patch from the new viewpoint, and generating the new viewpoint image by calculating an albedo consistency loss between the patch-wise albedo.
