1. A method for rendering multiple view data from a stereoscopic video data stream, comprising: receiving or estimating a disparity map from the stereoscopic data; forming a placement matrix to warp known pixels onto an image plane of a desired view, the placement matrix at position α is defined as: 
 P k α ( x,y +( k −α) D k ( x,y ))= y, where x and y are row and column indices, respectively, and the placement matrix P k α (x′,y′)=ŷ) provides a pixel location in the reference image that should be mapped on the pixel location (x′,y′) in the virtual view after warping; and with the placement matrix, using a look-up table to conduct image warping.
