Claim Text:
1. A method for processing one or more videos of a 3D-scene, in which each video is acquired by a corresponding camera arranged at a particular pose, comprising for each current block in a current picture to be processed the steps of: obtaining a motion vector from neighboring blocks of the current block, wherein the neighboring blocks and the current block are for a same view; determining a depth block from a corresponding depth component of a reference picture based on the motion vector for the current block; synthesizing, using backward warping, a prediction block corresponding to a current view based on a reference picture corresponding to a reference view and the depth block corresponding to the current view; and combining, for the current block, the prediction block and a decoded residual block to produce a block of an output picture, wherein the steps are performed in a decoder.
