FTV: Free-viewpoint Television

نویسنده

  • Masayuki Tanimoto
چکیده

FTV (free-viewpoint television) is an innovative visual media that allows users to view a three-dimensional (3D) scene by freely changing their viewpoints. Thus, it enables realistic viewing and free navigation of 3D scenes. FTV is the ultimate 3DTV with infinite number of views and ranked at the top of visual media. FTV is not a conventional pixel-based system but a ray-based system. New types of ray capture, processing, and display technologies have been developed for FTV. These technologies were also used to realize an all-around ray-reproducing 3DTV. The international standardization of FTV has been promoted in MPEG. The first phase of FTV ismulti-view video coding and the second phase is 3D video. In this paper, the FTV system and its technologies are reviewed.

FTV (Free viewpoint TV) and Creation of Ray-Based Image Engineering

Free viewpoint TV (FTV) enables us to view a distant 3D world by freely changing our viewpoints as if we were there. FTV will bring an epochal change in the history of television since this function has not yet been achieved by conventional TV technology. We proposed the concept of FTV and verified its feasibility using the world’s first real-time system including the complete chain of operatio...

A Free-viewpoint TV System

We propose an implementation of a model-based free-viewpoint TV (FTV) system using only three uncalibrated cameras. FTV is next-generation media that enables us to see a scene from any viewpoint. A modelbased approach for realizing FTV requires real-time 3D object capture using multiple cameras. Here, we propose a system for reconstructing 3D object surfaces using the so-called 2D continuous dy...

Fig. 1 shows a Free viewpoint TV (FTV) system [7]. FTV can generate very natural free viewpoint images in real time as shown in Fig. 2. A scene is captured using a dense array of synchronized cameras. The camera images are placed in a simple manner forming a Ray Space [8] that allows rendering the scene from any position by simple processing. So the user can view the scene not only from the ori...
