    Abstract: A media application selects, from a collection of images associated with a user account, candidate pairs of images, where each pair includes a first static image and a second static image from the user account. The media application applies a filter to select a particular pair of images from the candidate pairs of images. The media application generates, using an image interpolator, one or more intermediate images based on the particular pair of images. The media application generates a video that includes three or more frames arranged in a sequence, where a first frame of the sequence is the first static image, a last frame of the sequence is the second static image, and each of the one or more intermediate images is a corresponding intermediate frame of the sequence between the first frame and the last frame.

    Abstract: A method includes determining, based on an image having an initial viewpoint, a depth image, and determining a foreground visibility map including visibility values that are inversely proportional to a depth gradient of the depth image. The method also includes determining, based on the depth image, a background disocclusion mask indicating a likelihood that pixel of the image will be disoccluded by a viewpoint adjustment. The method additionally includes generating, based on the image, the depth image, and the background disocclusion mask, an inpainted image and an inpainted depth image. The method further includes generating, based on the depth image and the inpainted depth image, respectively, a first three-dimensional (3D) representation of the image and a second 3D representation of the inpainted image, and generating a modified image having an adjusted viewpoint by combining the first and second 3D representation based on the foreground visibility map.
