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