A graphics composition architecture for multimedia applications based on layered-depth-image

Abstract

We present a graphics architecture for the seamless integration of 3DV objects into ordinary 2D/3D multimedia applications. The architecture is based on layered-depth-image (LDI) and supports the real-time rendering of multiple views for multi-view 3D displays. We also present a prototype implementation of the proposed architecture in OpenCL, and discuss experimental results. The results indicate that the proposed approach leads to better results than other state-of-art graphics architecture for multimedia application.
