Perception-based Image Interpolation

Stich, Timo; Linz, Christian; Wallraven, Christian; Cunningham, Douglas; Magnor, Marcus

We present a perception-based method for image interpolation, aiming for perceptually convincing transitions between real-world images. Without 3D geometry or scene motion, perception-based image interpolation enables smooth viewpoint navigation across space and time. We show how global visual effects can be created from a collection of unsynchronized, uncalibrated images. A user study confirms the perceptual quality of the proposed image interpolation approach.
