Abstract
Systems and methods are herein provided for motion vector filtering to reduce hole size. In one example, a method comprises determining presence of one or more holes in an outputted image, wherein the outputted image was generated based on one or more motion vector (MV) fields and depth fields; determining a local foreground MV field and depth field for each pixel of the outputted image; defining a hole MV field based on the local foreground MV field; filter the hole MV field along its motion trajectory to reduce size of the one or more holes; and outputting a filtered image with one or more smaller holes.
