JPF-Joint Projection Filling

Participant : Fabien Racapé [contact person] .

In the context of multi-view videos, this software generates virtual views of the scene from any viewpoint using a proposed method named Joint Projection Filling (JPF). The latter belongs to Depth-Image-Based Rendering (DIBR) methods, relying on warping equations, which project a reference view onto a virtual viewpoint. Each input view is defined by a "color" (or "texture") map and a "depth" map, which associates a depth value to each image pixel. The JPF method performs forward projection on depth map, using connectivity information to fill in disocclusions in a single step. Depth- based inpainting can then be used to fill in color disocclusions.
