1. A decoder for decoding encoded information representing a multi-view video including a first-view video and a second-view video, comprising:
a predictive reconstructor configured to reconstruct a sub-region of a frame of the second-view video based on a reconstructed portion of the first-view video and a disparity vector, wherein the disparity vector indicates a displacement of the sub-region of the frame of the second-view video with respect to a corresponding frame of the first-view video; and
a view synthesizer configured to:
determine another disparity vector based on the disparity vector, and
synthesize a portion of a frame of a synthesized third-view video using the reconstructed portion of the frame of the first view video and the other disparity vector.
