Abstract
A method for synthesizing an image of a view from images of N (N>2), implemented by an image synthesis device. The method includes: projecting, to a position corresponding to the image of the view to be synthesized, N depth maps associated with the N views, respectively; for at least one given pixel of at least one projected depth map, for which a depth value has been associated on completion of projection, modifying the depth value of the at least one given pixel if an item of reliability information associated with the depth value is at a certain value, the modification using the depth value of a pixel whose position corresponds to that of the at least one given pixel, in at least one other projected depth map, which generates at least one modified projected depth map.
