Interlaced scanning has been used for a long time in analog SDTV systems. With the increasing demand for high resolution video services, a number of countries have started to offer high-definition television broadcasting services. Although recent displays such as LCD and PDP are more suitable for the progressive scan format, the interlaced scan format still constitute a key part of the HDTV sta...

The broad goals of this project are the development and application of high-resolution 3D stereo video and display technology and its integration into various IMSC vision and application research projects. We investigate stereo video acquisition, display and transmission capabilities and evaluate its effectiveness in immersive applications. A second goal is to investigate human interaction with...

A face is capable of producing about twenty thousand different facial expressions [2]. Many researchers on Virtual Characters have selected a limited set of emotional facial expressions and defined them as basic emotions, which are universally recognized facial expressions. These basic emotions have been well studied since 1969 and employed in many applications [3]. However, real life communica...

Navigating hours of video material is often time-consuming, and traditional keyframe displays are not particularly useful when studying single-shot studio recordings of music-related movement. This paper presents the idea of motiongrams and how we use such displays in our studies of dancers’ free move-

High quality video sequences are required for the evaluation of tone mapping operators and high dynamic range (HDR) displays. We provide scenic and documentary scenes with a dynamic range of up to 18 stops. The scenes are staged using professional film lighting, make-up and set design to enable the evaluation of image and material appearance. To address challenges for HDR-displays and temporal ...

Abstr act: In a meeting room environment with multiple public wall displays and personal notebook computers, it is possible to design a highly interactive experience for manipulating and annotating slides. For the public displays, we present the ModSlideShow system with a discrete modular model for linking the displays into groups, along with a gestural interface for manipulating the flow of sl...
