This paper proposes a new scheme to synthesize multi-view images from 2D plus depth (2D+D) images. A 2D+D image
is combined from one single image with its corresponding depth map. The 2D+D image format is one of the most widely
used representations of 3D images. To synthesize a new viewpoint image, we perform procedures of calculating the
disparity first, and then filling disocclusion regions. For the first step, we calculate the disparity of new images by a
geometric model which defines the geometric relation between the scene and synthesized viewpoints. After obtaining
new images, we have to fill disocclusion regions. To fill the regions, several methods have been proposed, e.g. (1) linear
interpolation of foreground and background image color, background color extrapolation; (2) mirroring of background
color information; (3) preprocessing of depth information. To fill the regions with better quality, we classify regions into
two different types. Bi-cubic interpolation is then applied while the size of absence region is small. If the region is large,
we fill the proper texture by searching in the neighboring area. The described processes improve the visual quality of
synthesized multi-view images. Finally this paper presents the comparison between the proposed method and traditional
methods.
In this paper, a novel multi-view stereoscopic interior design system, "Dream Home", has been developed to bring users
new interior design experience. Different than other interior design system before, we put emphasis on its intuitive
manipulation and multi-view stereoscopic visualization in real time. Users can do their own interior design just using
their hands and eyes without any difficulty. They manipulate furniture cards directly as they wish to setup their living
room in the model house task space, get the multi-view 3D visual feedback instantly, and re-adjust cards until they are
satisfied. No special skills are required, and you can explore your design talent arbitrarily. We hope that "Dream Home"
will make interior design more user-friendly, more intuitive, and more vivid.
