LDI builder

Participant : Fabien Racapé [contact person] .

This software constructs a Layered Depth Image (LDI) representation of un-rectified Multi-View + Depth (MVD) sequences. The Incremental construction scheme reduces inter-layer correlation. The generated I-LDI is compatible with the M3DPlayer, permitting 3D visualisation and free viewpoint rendering of the 3D scene. The software also implements a virtual-view rendering technique which significantly reduces ghosting artefacts by eliminating untrusted texture boundaries detected in depth maps, as well as cracking artefacts thanks to an epipolar geometry aided inpainting method.
