Stereo Image Synthesis by View Morphing with Stereo Consistency

We show how to synthesize stereo images by adjusting camera separation to produce customized stereopsis and by changing the viewpoint to accommodate a head-tracked 3D display. We propose an improved method for stereo image synthesis from a pair of wide-baseline stereo images and corresponding disparity maps. To give proper depth in hole regions caused by disocclusion, we introduce a hole filling method which maintains consistency between a pair of stereo images. The results from a user study demonstrate that our hole filling method gives a correct depth effect than existing hole filling.
