A virtual view genetation method for free-viewpoint video system
Generating virtual views is one of the crucial problems for a free-viewpoint video system. In this paper, we solve the problem by using a method based on the technique of view morphing, and construct a multi-camera based experimental free-viewpoint video platform to validate its feasibility. This method requires no setting up of dense cameras, therefore the system is easy to be established and controlled in practice, and the mount of data for processing and transmitting can also be reduced. Experimental results show that the effect of this method can satisfy the requirement of view generation for the system.
