Claim 7:
8. An image synthesis method implemented by a synthesis device, the method comprising:
generating at least one image of a virtual view, from at least one image of a view of a multi-view video decoded by a decoding device, said virtual view being distinct from views of the multi-view video, by:
sending to the decoding device a request indicating at least one item of metadata required to generate the at least one image of a view, said at least one item of metadata being associated with said at least one image of a view, and said at least one item of metadata corresponding to a map associated to said at least one image of a view;
reading said at least one item of metadata, said at least one item of metadata being obtained by the decoding device from at least one syntax element obtained from a data stream representative of a multi-view video; and
generating said at least one image of a virtual view comprising using said at least one read item of metadata and said decoded image.
