  • REAL-TIME VIEW SYNTHESIS
    Publication number: 20260134614
    Abstract: A method including receiving a plurality of two-dimensional (2D) images representing a frame of a streaming three-dimensional (3D) video, generating a plurality of meshes corresponding to one of the plurality of 2D images, generating a synthesized mesh based on the plurality of meshes, generating a left-eye 3D image and depth based on the synthesized mesh, and generating a right-eye 3D image and depth map based on the synthesized mesh, the left-eye 3D image and depth map and the right-eye 3D image and depth map having a viewpoint perspective based on a receiver of the streaming 3D video.
