Depth Image Sequences Compression Using Programmable Graphics Hardware
Depth image-based representation (DIMR) has recently been adopted into MPEG-4 Animation Framework eXtension (AFX). However, how to compress depth image sequences is not addressed. In this paper, we discuss the compression of the depth image sequences. Since depth maps should be kept accurate for many application scenarios, they are compressed losslessly using run-length like coding scheme. One ...
متن کاملA Framework for Depth Image-Based Modeling and Rendering
We present an image-based system for automatic modeling and interactive rendering of 3D objects. We describe our contribution to image-based modeling and interactive multi-resolution rendering algorithms. Our representation is based on images with depths, which allow it to be compact and flexible, suitable for static and animated scenes, simplify streaming network transmission. The representati...
متن کاملImplementation of MPEG-4’s Subdivision Surfaces Tools
This work is about the implementation of a MPEG-4 decoder for subdivision surfaces, which are powerful 3D paradigms allowing to compactly represent piecewise smooth surfaces. This ‘study’ will take place in the framework of MPEG-4 AFX, the extension of the MPEG-4 standard including the subdivision surfaces. This document will introduce, with some details, the ‘theory’ of subdivision surfaces in...
متن کاملDepth image-based representations for static and animated 3D objects
We describe a novel depth image-based representation (DIBR) that has been adopted into MPEG-4 Animation Framework eXtension (AFX). The idea of this approach is to build a compact representation of a 3D object or scene without storing the geometry information in traditional polygonal form. The main formats of the DIBR family are SimpleTexture (an image together with depth array), PointTexture (a...
متن کاملAccelerating Depth Image-Based Rendering Using GPU
In this paper, we propose a practical method for hardwareaccelerated rendering of the depth image-based representation (DIBR) object, which is defined in MPEG-4 Animation Framework eXtension (AFX). The proposed method overcomes the drawbacks of the conventional rendering, i.e. it is slow since it is hardly assisted by graphics hardware and surface lighting is static. Utilizing the new features ...
