Predicting the Quality of View Synthesis With Color-Depth Image Fusion

With the increasing prevalence of free-viewpoint video applications, virtual view synthesis has attracted extensive attention. In view synthesis, a new viewpoint is generated from the input color and depth images with a depth-image-based rendering (DIBR) algorithm. Current quality evaluation models for view synthesis typically operate on the synthesized images, i.e. after the DIBR process, which i...
