Abstract
Digital image synthesis techniques are described that leverage splatting, i.e., forward warping. In one example, a first digital image and a first optical flow are received by a digital image synthesis system. A first splat metric and a first merge metric are constructed by the digital image synthesis system that defines a weighted map of respective pixels. From this, the digital image synthesis system produces a first warped optical flow and a first warp merge metric corresponding to an interpolation instant by forward warping the first optical flow based on the splat metric and the merge metric. A first warped digital image corresponding to the interpolation instant is formed by the digital image synthesis system by backward warping the first digital image based on the first warped optical flow.
