ADAPTIVE COLOR CORRECTION IN VIRTUAL VIEW SYNTHESIS

Abstract

In the paper an adaptive color correction method for virtual view synthesis is presented. It deals with the typical problem in free navigation systems – different illumination in views captured by different cameras acquiring the scene. The proposed technique adjusts the local color characteristics of objects visible in two real views. That approach allows to significantly reduce number and visibility of color artifacts in the virtual view. Proposed method was tested on 12 multiview test sequences. Obtained and presented in the paper results show, that proposed color correction provides increase of the virtual view quality measured by PSNR, SSIM and subjective evaluation.
