Accuracy and stability of novel view synthesis in the presence of noise
The problem of synthesizing novel views consists of generating new views of a scene, at arbitrary camera positions and orientations, using at least two reference views. This paper presents and compares three methods for novel view synthesis. For a given virtual location and orientation of the camera, the corresponding virtual image is syntheshed using two reference images. View synthesis was achieved through trilinear tensor, epipolar geometry and, SD-reconstruction respectively. We have considered the case where the intrinsic parameters are not precisely known. In particular, we have investigated how errors on the intrinsic parameters deet the syntheshed views.
