Visual Experience of 3D TV

The goal of this chapter is to explore and determine which evaluation criterion is most appropriate to assess the performance of 3D-display systems. It is assumed that these evaluation criteria take into account image quality as well as reproduced depth. The criterion that weighs depth most in addition to image quality is considered most appropriate. Experiment 1 explores the assessment criteri...

Software for 3d-tv and 3d-stereoscopic Workstations

In anticipation of high quality 3D-TV and 3D-stereoscopic computer workstations soon being "enabled" by new developments in HDTV and high resolution at panel displays, we are studying and developing some of the software that will be needed. This paper surveys three software topics that span the breadth of our work: issues relating to geometry, to compression, and to an infrastructure for 3D-ste...

Multiview Imaging and 3D TV. A Survey

Free-viewpoint rendering algorithm for 3D TV

The next step after the introduction of highdefinition (HD) TV in the market is likely the advent of three-dimensional (3D) television. The introduction of depth in TV scenes can be implemented in various ways, but it is sure that it will impact the complete communication chain from encoder to decoder and display. In this paper, we focus on the receiving side and assume the coded transmission o...

Compression of integral 3D TV pictures

The development of a compression algorithm for reduction of the transmission bit rate of 3D integral TV pictures is discussed. The proposed full parallax 3D image compression algorithm takes advantage of the cross correlation between the multiple images recorded on a CCD placed behind a directionally selective microlens array as well as the correlation inherent within each image. Tests carried ...
