METHODS AND APPARATUS TO SYNTHESIZE SIX DEGREE-OF-FREEDOM VIEWS FROM SPARSE RGB-DEPTH INPUTS

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus are disclosed herein to synthesize six degree-of-freedom views from sparce RGB-depth inputs. An example apparatus includes at least one memory, instructions in the apparatus, and processor circuitry to execute the instructions to reproject a first red-green-blue (RGB) depth view and a second RGB depth view to a target camera position to obtain a first reprojected view and a second reprojected view, combine the first reprojected view and the second reprojected view into a blended view data based on a first weight map and a second weight map, the blended view including missing RGB depth information due to at least one of an occlusion or a disocclusion, and generate a six degree-of-freedom synthesized view of the blended view data, the synthesized view including the missing RGB depth information.
