Patent attributes
Various embodiments of the present invention relate generally to systems and methods for artificially rendering images using viewpoint interpolation and extrapolation. According to particular embodiments, a method includes moving a set of control points perpendicular to a trajectory between a first frame and a second frame, where the first frame includes a first image captured from a first location and the second frame includes a second image captured from a second location. The set of control points is associated with a layer and each control point is moved based on an associated depth of the control point. The method also includes generating an artificially rendered image corresponding to a third location outside of the trajectory by extrapolating individual control points using the set of control points for the third location and extrapolating pixel locations using the individual control points.
