Abstract:
Various embodiments of the present invention relate generally to systems and methods for artificially rendering images using viewpoint interpolation and/or extrapolation. According to particular embodiments, a transformation between a first frame and a second frame is estimated, where the first frame includes a first image captured from a first location and the second frame includes a second image captured from a second location. An artificially rendered image corresponding to a third location positioned on a trajectory between the first location and the second location is then generated by interpolating a transformation from the first location to the third location and from the third location to the second location and gathering image information from the first frame and the second frame by transferring first image information from the first frame to the third frame based on the interpolated transformation and second image information from the second frame to the third frame based on the interpolated transformation. The first image information and the second image information are then combined. If an occlusion is created by a change in layer placement between the first frame and second frame, this occlusion is detected and missing data is replaced to fill the occlusion.
