Abstract:
1. A multi-view image synthesis method for generating multiple views of an input image, said method comprising the following steps: (a) accessing said input image, wherein said input image is a 2-dimensional (2D) image and is the only image used to generate said multiple views; (b) applying an auto-detection process to said input image for detecting a predefined object-class; (c) in response to said auto-detection process detecting a target image region within said input image having a target image that corresponds to said predefined object-class, aligning a predefined 3-dimensional (3D) polygon mesh of said predefined object-class to the target image, said 3D polygon mesh being distant from a planar boundary shape defining an enclosed perimeter on a boundary plane, said boundary shape having anchor points at predefined locations along its perimeter and coupled to predefined vertices of said 3D polygon mesh; (d) positioning said boundary shape to be coplanar with the plane of the input image and to enclose said target image, coupling the aligned target image to the boundary shape; and (e) rotating the aligned target image in accordance with a rotation of the 3D polygon mesh and in accordance with its triangulation with said anchor points, and replacing said target image region with the rotated aligned target image within said input image.
