View synthesis from sparse camera array for pop-out rendering on hologram displays

A hologram of a scene can be digitally created by using a large set of images of that scene. Since capturing such a large amount is infeasible to accomplish, one may use view synthesis approaches to reduce the number of cameras and generate the missing views. We propose a view interpolation algorithm that creates views inside the scene, based on a sparse set of camera images. This allows the objects to pop out of the holographic display. We show that our approach outperforms existing view synthesis approaches and show the applicability on holographic stereograms.
