The proposed codec is based on a multiple description approach whose advantage is an intrinsic robustness to the packet losses, as the simulation results have proved. This coding approach is important also for end user scalability since each device can decide the information to receive according to the display resolution and the connecting link bandwidth. The proposed system results are very suitable not only for IP networks but also for every packet network like the next generation mobile systems.","PeriodicalId":223771,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on VIPromCom Video/Image Processing and Multimedia Communications","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129599114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, systems should be able to deal with hand gestures as well as occluded areas in reference images required in derived views. The quality of such derived views is dependent not only on the analysis and synthesis process but also the multiview camera set-up. Often the popular convergent wide-baseline stereo approach aspires to achieve too much through a single camera pair: maximum information and reliable disparity maps. We identify how this dichotomy leads to problems in the analysis and synthesis process, often leading to a restrictive system specific solution. We then define a new approach, a multiple narrow-baseline set-up, designed to overcome the limitations of the wide-baseline set-up, being modular, both in terms of system requirements as well as algorithmically, and scalable, with respect to the number of conferees.","PeriodicalId":223771,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on VIPromCom Video/Image Processing and Multimedia Communications","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131141732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Much research on this area has been conducted by the computer vision community over the last decade. Currently, most problems involved in this technology are well understood and there exist several well-established algorithms to render virtual views from perspectively different images of the same scene. However, most work has been oriented towards high-accuracy disparity estimation to produce high-quality virtual images, often using sophisticated purpose-built hardware accelerators to achieve real-time results. Two disparity estimators with different complexity degrees are described and used to examine how much disparity inaccuracies influence image rendering quality. The objective of this study is to design software-based image synthesis in real-time on conventional PC platforms. Basically, this work looks at the opposite end of the cost-complexity curve by making very restrained demands on the disparity estimator. It is shown empirically that in many cases the effect of disparity accuracy on the quality of virtual views is almost imperceptible and that, for many applications requiring real-time processing, reasonably good results can be achieved with less computational cost.","PeriodicalId":223771,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium on VIPromCom Video/Image Processing and Multimedia Communications","volume":"245 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134012093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
