Abstract
A novel image view may be synthesized using a three-dimensional reference model. In an example embodiment, a device-implemented method for synthesizing a novel image view includes acts of registering, selecting, applying and synthesizing. An image is registered to at least one reference model. A source block of visual data from the image is selected with regard to a destination block of the reference model based on a source depth associated with the source block and a destination depth associated with the destination block. The destination position of the destination block of the reference model is not visible in the image. The source block of visual data from the image is applied to the destination block of the reference model to produce an image-augmented model. A novel image view is synthesized using the image-augmented model.
