Abstract
An image-based rendering system and method for rendering a novel image from several reference images. The system includes a pre-processing module for pre-processing at least two of the reference images and providing pre-processed data; a view synthesis module connected to the pre-processing module for synthesizing an intermediate image from the at least two of the reference images and the pre-processed data; and, an artifact rejection module connected to the view synthesis module for correcting the intermediate image to produce the novel image.
