Synthesis of Virtual Viewpoint Images Based on Two Viewpoints

In this paper, we propose a method by which a high free virtual viewpoint image can be morphed while keeping the epiolar geometry relations. An arbitrary viewpoint image can be synthesized according to the epiolar geometry relations between free virtual and input viewpoints, after parallelizing images of input viewpoints automatically. Simulated and real experimental results show that the high free virtual viewpoint images can be morphed successfully by using the proposed method, even though the input viewpoint images can not be completely parallelized.
