METHOD AND DEVICE FOR REAL-TIME MULTI-VIEW PRODUCTION

From a stereo image having at least 2 perspectives additional virtual perspectives are produced, wherein the processing time for the virtual perspectives is less than a specified value and simultaneously the multi-view image quality is maximized by identifying image areas that have not changed between two stereo images of the image sequence. In these areas the associated disparity map also did not change and the disparity values are reused. In addition, the processing parameters for calculating the virtual perspectives are continuously adjusted through continuous time measurement during processing such that the quality is always at a maximum. An adaptive method is obtained, which is also able to respond to load fluctuations of the underlying hardware device.
