In an initial resampling stage, a voxel or a surface mesh based approach resamples the point cloud data into a common sampling grid. Subsequently, the resampled data undergoes a filtering stage based on clustering to remove artifacts and achieve spatiotemporal consistency across cameras and time instants. The presented algorithms are evaluated in a view synthesis scenario. Results show that view synthesis with enhanced depth maps as produced by the algorithms leads to less artifacts than synthesis with the original source data.} }
