We propose a method to generate an arbitrary view based on five reference views. We attempt to synthesize a new view with the best attainable quality given limited information. The method is based on estimation of a depth map and successive image mapping : transformation of the depth map, guessing the depth map for the uncovered area through a simple directional interpolation, and back-mapping using the filled depth map with a reasonable check. The uncovered area due to a view change can be handled on the basis of the observable viewpoint. We confirmed that an acceptable image quality could be efficiently synthesized for an arbitrary viewpoint within a scope.
