In this paper, we propose a method to extract depth from motion, texture and intensity. We first analyze the depth map to extract a set of depth cues. Then, based on these depth cues, we process the colored reference video, using texture, motion, luminance and chrominance content, to extract the depth map. The processing of each channel in the Y CRCB−color space is conducted separately. We test...

With the introduction of the original Radeon the general rendering performance landscape changed significantly due to the revolutionary technology that is HyperZ. Today this technology has been upgraded, fine-tuned and improved in several generations and is now a general commodity that everyone expects to have. Yet it is sometimes not well understood or taken proper advantage of. Developing 3D ...

OBJECTIVE Regional recurrence is common following surgery for T1/T2 oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Tumor depth >4.0 mm is commonly assigned as an indication for prophylactic neck dissection to improve regional control. Prophylactic neck dissection may detect extracapsular extension, a poor prognostic sign where adjuvant chemotherapy is indicated. The hypothesis in this study is that...

Aims. The introduction of laser Doppler (LD) techniques to assess burn depth has revolutionized the treatment of burns of indeterminate depth. This paper will systematically review studies related to these two techniques and trace their evolution. At the same time we hope to highlight current controversies and areas where further research is necessary with regard to LD imaging (LDI) techniques....

Recently, a variety of stereoscopic contents have been provided to academic and industrial fields for broadcasting, movies and mobile materials. However, few works have been interested in the adjustment of 3D contents for diverse displays. For instance, movie contents suited to large screen frequently do not deliver the same 3D perception to small-size screen such as mobile phone, tabular PCs, ...

The relationship between color and perceived depth for realistic, colored objects with varying shading was explored. Background: Studies have shown that warm-colored stimuli tend to appear nearer in depth than cool-colored stimuli. The majority of these studies asked human observers to view physically equidistant, colored stimuli and compare them for relative depth. However, in most cases, the ...

The neural mechanisms of stereoscopic 3D shape perception have only recently been investigated. Here we review the two cortical regions in which these mechanisms have been studied so far in macaques: a small subpart of inferotemporal cortex called TEs, and the caudal intraparietal (CIP) region. Neurons in TEs respond selectively to the orientation and curvature in depth of stereoscopic surfaces...

At its eighth meeting, the Conference of the Parties, in its decision VIII/13, decided to conduct an in-depth review of the availability of financial resources, including through the financial mechanism, at its ninth meeting, and requested the Executive Secretary, in consultation with Parties, Governments and relevant partners, to explore all options for resource mobilization including innovati...
