Abstract

The invention discloses a method for generating virtual multi-viewpoint images based on depth image layering, which comprises the following steps: (1) preprocessing depth images to be processed; (2) layering the preprocessed depth images so as to obtain layered depth images; (3) selecting depth layers focused by camera arrays, and determining prospect layers and background layers; (4) layering two dimensional images to be processed so as to obtain layered two dimensional images; (5) calculating valves of parallax errors corresponding to the two dimensional image layers corresponding to various depth layers; (6) expanding the layered two dimensional images so as to obtain expanded layered two dimensional images; (7) obtaining the virtual two-dimensional images of various virtual viewpoint positions by using a weighted level translation algorithm. By using the method of the invention, virtual multi-viewpoint images required by a multi-viewpoint auto-stereoscopic display system can be generated rapidly and effectively without parameters of a virtual multi-viewpoint camera array model, and the method has good fault-tolerant capacity to the input depth images.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for generating virtual multi-viewpoint images in a multi-viewpoint autostereoscopic display system, in particular to a method for generating virtual multi-viewpoint images based on depth map layers. Background technique [0002] Multi-viewpoint autostereoscopic display technology is a technology that simultaneously presents images of multiple different viewpoints of the same scene to the audience, and the audience can see stereoscopic images in multiple positions without wearing glasses. The technique requires multiple 2D images of the same scene from different viewpoints. [0003] In order to obtain multiple 2D images of the same scene from different viewpoints, there are currently two main solutions. [0004] One method is to use a camera array composed of multiple cameras to shoot simultaneously, and then simultaneously transmit multiple pieces of two-dimensional image data to the display terminal for stereoscopic ...
