Run VSRS experiments

It is not necessary to export the whole dataset to VSRS to run VSRS on some views. But the dataset parameters must have the vsrs group set up. The program vsrs/run_vsrs automatically generates the YUV files and VSRS camera parameters on the fly. The cameras_filename must also be set for this.

Run single view synthesis

To synthesize a single view, run

vsrs/run_vsrs path/to/vsrs/ViewSyn parameters.html 200,100 300,100 400,100 virtual.png

If will synthesize virtual view at index (x=300, y=100), from left view (x=200, y=100) and right view (x=400, y=100). For a 1D dataset, use numbers like 300 instead of 300,100.

Internally the program generates temporary files (VSRS camera parameters and configuration, YUV output) with unique names per invokation; it is safe to run is multiple times in parallel.

Run VSRS multiple experiments

Prepare a sequence of VSRS experiments using vsrs/list_increase_baseline_experiments, vsrs/list_parametric_experiments, or vsrs/list_skip_n_experiments.

To run VSRS for each one and save the sequence of output images, run

vsrs/run_vsrs_experiments path/to/vsrs/ViewSyn parameters.html experiments.json out_virtual/

It will store output images (sequentially numbered) in the directory out_virtual/.

To instead evaluate the PSNRs, run

vsrs/psnr_experiments path/to/vsrs/ViewSyn parameters.html experiments.json results.txt
