An Overview of a New European Consortium: Integrated Three-Dimensional Television - Capture, Transmission and Display (3DTV)

A new European consortium is formed as a Network of Excellence to integrate the research works of 19 institutions in the field of 3DTV. The consortium is funded by EC under the FP6 thematic area Information Society Technologies within the strategic objective Cross-media Content for Leisure and Entertainment. The project will last 48 months, but the collaboration among the partners is expected t...

Survey of perceptual quality issues in three-dimensional television systems

Three-dimensional television (3DTV) is often mentioned as a logical next step following high-definition television (HDTV). A high quality 3-D broadcast service is becoming increasingly feasible based on various recent technological developments combined with an enhanced understanding of 3-D perception and human factors issues surrounding 3DTV. In this paper, perceptually relevant issues, in par...

Immersive and Non-immersive Virtual Reality Techniques Applied to Telecommunication Network Management

In this paper, we will introduce two different three dimensional VR-based user interface for telecommunication network management. The first one is an immersive system, using HMD and other 3D input devices. The other is a WWW-based flat screen 3D collaborative user interface. The architecture of each system and our observation from it will be described. Then, a comparison will be made to show t...

Trend and challenges in 3D digital television: video formats and transmission standards

3D video is new media extension of conventional 2D video into third dimension adding depth sensation and resolving 2D viewing ambiguity. Stereoscopic and free-viewpoint videos are visual representation and coding formats which takes 3D geometry information of acquisition system. Different 3D video acquisition, processing and representation technologies can be used, but all make use of multiple ...
