  • Systems and methods for generating a virtual camera viewpoint for an image
    Patent number: 9053573
    Abstract: A color image and a depth image of a live video are received. A user is extracted from the information of the color image and the depth image. Spurious depth vales may be corrected. Points or pixels of an image as seen from a viewpoint of a reference camera at a reference camera location are mapped to points of the image as would be seen from a viewpoint of a virtual camera at a virtual camera location. As such, a transformed color image is generated. Disoccluded pixels may be processed to address any gaps within the transformed color image.
