3-d Image Processing in the Future of Immersive Media

چکیده
This survey paper discusses the 3D image processing challenges posed by present and future immersive telecommunications, especially immersive video conferencing and television. We introduce the concepts of presence, immersion and co-presence, and discuss their relation with virtual collaborative environments in the context of communications. Several examples are used to illustrate the current state of the art. We highlight the crucial need of real-time, highly realistic video with adaptive viewpoint for future, immersive communications, and identify calibration, multiple view analysis, tracking, and view synthesis as the fundamental image processing modules addressing such need. For each topic, we sketch the basic problem and representative solutions from the image processing literature.

Depth Map Creation and Mesh-based Hierarchical 3-D Scene Representation in Hybrid Camera System
As immersive multimedia services are expected to be available anytime and anywhere through a high-speed optical network in the near future, the importance of threedimensional (3-D) video is increasingly recognized as an essential part of high-quality visual media. As a 3-D video representation, it is widely accepted that a monoscopic color video enriched with per-pixel depth information, which ...
متن کاملNew Approach for Approximation of Dispersivity in Porous Media
This paper presents a simple yet powerful original approach for approximating dispersivity in porous media. The key to this approach is both use of least-squares criterion and image processing technique. Two dimensional transparent models, including horizontal and vertical configurations, under different combinations of grain sizes and pore velocities, experimented. Concentration data were obta...
متن کاملUltra-Fast Image Reconstruction of Tomosynthesis Mammography Using GPU
Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is a technology that creates three dimensional (3D) images of breast tissue. Tomosynthesis mammography detects lesions that are not detectable with other imaging systems. If image reconstruction time is in the order of seconds, we can use Tomosynthesis systems to perform Tomosynthesis-guided Interventional procedures. This research has been designed to study u...
