Multi-image interpolation based on graph-cuts and symmetric optical flow


Multi-image interpolation based on graph-cuts and symmetric optical flow

Multi-image interpolation in space and time has recently received

considerable attention. Typically, the interpolated image is synthesized

by adaptively blending several forward-warped images.

Blending itself is a low-pass filtering operation: the interpolated images

are prone to blurring and ghosting artifacts as soon as the underlying

correspondence fields are imperfect. We address both issues

and propose a multi-image interpolation algorithm that avoids

blending. Instead, our algorithm decides for each pixel in the synthesized

view from which input image to sample. Combined with

a symmetrical long-range optical flow formulation for correspondence

field estimation, our approach yields crisp interpolated images

without ghosting artifacts.
