  • Apparatus, system, and method for temporal domain hole filling based on background modeling for view synthesis
    Patent number: 9235879
    Abstract: Embodiments of apparatuses, systems, and methods for a temporal hole filling are described. Specifically, an embodiment of the present invention may include a depth-based hole filling process that includes a background modeling technique (SGM). Beneficially, in such an embodiment, holes in the synthesized view may be filled effectively and efficiently.
