This paper presents a fast and lightweight image inpainting method using distance transform and Gaussian lowpass filtering on disoccluded regions for virtual view synthesis. Virtual views are created from one texture-plus-depth image and afterwards a described method is used for the hole filling process. Proposed algorithm is compared with several state-of-the-art image inpainting methods using different no-reference image quality measures (BRISQUE, NIQE, PIQE). Results for the proposed method show competitive performance, while having lower execution time, concluding that the proposed method can be used in different real-time scenarios.
