Novel Scene Generation Along The Viewing Positions

In this paper. we propose an algorithm to automatically generate a novel scene along the alternated viewing positions using the bidirectional disparity morphing. To compute the disparity between two reference images, we use the 2-step block based matching algorithm and define three occluding patterns so as to smooth the computed disparities, especially for occluded regions. We discuss the advantages of this algorithm compared to the commonly used schemes and show some experimental results with real data.
