Abstract
In this paper, we develop a fast view synthesis method that generates multiple intermediate views in real-time for the 3D display system when the camera geometry and depth map of reference views are given in advance. The proposed method achieves faster view synthesis than previous approaches in GPU by processing in parallel the entire computations required for the view synthesis. Specifically, we use $CUDA^{TM}$ (by NVIDIA) to control GPU device. For increasing the processing speed, we adapted all the processes for the view synthesis to single instruction multiple data (SIMD) structure that is a main feature of CUDA, maximized the use of the high-speed memories on GPU device, and optimized the implementation. As a result, we could synthesize 9 intermediate view images with the size of 720 by 480 pixels within 0.128 second.
