Abstract To generate light‐field display images, a large amount of cameras or input images is required. This creates difficulties in designing both the acquiring system and memory storage. In this paper, we propose an efficient light‐field rendering algorithm using only a few input color and depth images. Using a depth map and estimated camera parameters, synthesized light‐field images were directly generated. With the use of this algorithm, the memory load is much lighter than with a conventional light‐field rendering algorithm. This algorithm is also much simpler than the image‐based rendering (IBR) algorithm because it does not involve the generation of many multiview images.
