Abstract: A method for synthesizing an image with multi-view images includes inputting multiple images, wherein each of the reference images is corresponding to a reference viewing-angle for photographing; synthesizing an image corresponding to a viewpoint and an intended viewing-angle; segmenting the intended synthesized image to obtain a plurality of meshes and a plurality of vertices of the meshes. Each of the vertices and the viewpoint respectively establish a viewing-angle, and the method further includes searching a plurality of neighboring images among the reference images referring to the viewing-angle. If at least one of the neighboring images falls within an adjacent region of the vertex, a first mode is adopted without interpolation to synthesize the intended synthesized image; when none of the neighboring images falls within the adjacent region of the vertex, a second mode is adopted, where a weighting-based interpolation mechanism is used for synthesizing the intended synthesized image.

Abstract: A parallel processing method for synthesizing multi-view images is provided, which may parallel process at least a potion of the following steps. First, multiple reference images are input, wherein each reference image is correspondingly taken from a reference viewing angle. Next, an intended synthesized image corresponding to a viewpoint and an intended viewing angle is determined. Next, the intended synthesized image is divided to obtain multiple meshes and multiple vertices of the meshes, wherein the vertices are divided into several vertex groups, and each vertex and the viewpoint form a view direction. Next, the view direction is referenced to find several near-by images from the reference images for synthesizing an image of a novel viewing angle. After the foregoing actions are totally or partially processed according to the parallel processing mechanism, separate results are combined for use in a next processing stage.

Abstract: A continuous addressing optical disk including a plurality of recording layers is provided. Wherein, the Nth recording layer has a plurality of data sectors with continuous addresses. The (N+1)th recording layer has a plurality of data sectors with continuous addresses. Wherein, the addresses of the data sectors of the Nth and (N+1)th recording layers are continuous. The present invention will not waste the addressing space for multi-layer optical disk because the addresses of data sectors of adjoining recording layers are continuous.
