In this paper, virtual view synthesis of sparse light field images is considered. We analyze the patch-wise 3D warping and blending methods of the conventional view synthesis, and propose an improved algorithm for supporting 6DoF. We suggest an enhancement for the super-pixel and additional blending weights, and present experimental results using multi-view contents of MPEG.
