EN In this paper, the authors describe a fast view inpainting algorithm dedicated to practical, real-time immersive video systems. Inpainting is an inherent step of the entire virtual view rendering process, allowing for achieving high Quality of Experience (QoE) for a user of the immersive video system. The authors propose a novel approach for inpainting, based on dividing the inpainting process into two independent, highly parallelizable stages: view analysis and hole filling. In total, four methods of view analysis and two methods of hole filling were developed, implemented, and evaluated, both in terms of computational time and quality of the virtual view. The proposed technique was compared against an efficient state-of-the-art iterative inpainting technique. The results show that the proposal allows for achieving good objective and subjective quality, requiring less than 2 ms for inpainting of a frame of the typical FullHD multiview sequence.
