Abstract
A virtual image is synthesized from a reduced resolution depth image storing depth values at each pixel location. The reduced resolution depth image is scaled up to produce an up-scaled depth image. Then, at least one filter is applied to the up-scaled depth image to produce a reconstructed depth image, and the virtual image is synthesized using the reconstructed depth image.

A method for synthesizing a virtual image from a reduced resolution depth image storing depth values at each pixel location, comprising:
- scaling up, the reduced resolution depth image to produce an up-scaled depth image;
- applying at least one filter to the up-scaled depth image to produce a reconstructed depth image;
- and
- synthesizing the virtual image using the reconstructed depth image, wherein steps of the method are executed by a processor.
A method for synthesizing a virtual image from a reduced resolution depth image storing depth values at each pixel location, comprising:
- scaling up, the reduced resolution depth image to produce an up-scaled depth image;
- filtering the up-scaled depth image to correct errors of depth values caused by resampling to produce a reconstructed depth image;
- and
- synthesizing the virtual image using the reconstructed depth image, wherein steps of the method are executed by a processor.
