Patent ID: 8773427

Claim:
A computer-implemented method for multi-view image generation using depth map information, the method being executed by one or more processors and comprising: transforming an input image and an input depth map into a new view that is distinct from a view of the input image and the input depth map; converting a input image and an input depth map into a projected image and a projected depth map using values from physical pixel locations that map to projected pixel locations, wherein the projected image and the projected depth map are associated with the new view; identifying one or more occluded regions in the input image and the input depth map; inpainting the projected image and the projected depth map and inpainting the one or more occluded regions with pixels associated with locations to the right of one or more occluded regions; and producing an output image in a direction of the particular view using the inpainted projected image and the inpainted projected depth map.
