Smoothly switching method of asynchronous multi-view videos using frame interpolation

Abstract

This paper proposes a method that generates viewpoint smooth switching by reducing the flickering artifact observed at bullet-times generated from asynchronous multi-view videos using frame interpolation processing. When we asynchronously capture multi-view videos of an object moving at high velocity, deviations occur in the observed position at the bullet-times. We apply a frame interpolation technique to reduce the problem. By selecting suitable interpolated images that produce the smallest movement of the subject's observed position, we smoothly generate viewpoint switched bullet-time video.
