Abstract
In this paper, we propose the methods of depth estimation and free-viewpoint image synthesis using multiple cameras. The depth estimation method uses different block size at each pixel. And the depth information from the virtual camera is obtained by one real camera's depth information and interpolation processing. And, the method of free-viewpoint image synthesis uses ray vectors derived from the depth information. Then occlusion is distinguished by using them. The accuracy of free-viewpoint image synthesis is improved by selecting the camera without occlusion.
