In order to display real 3D scenes, a 3D camera technique which generates high-density directional images of real 3D scenes is required. The most promising method is to generate them by using an interpolation algorithm from multiple images captured by horizontally aligned multiple cameras. In this study we examined four different simple interpolation algorithms. The algorithm that utilizes one representative object distance as a priori was found to be the most effective one. This technique offers the fast interpolation. However, there is a tradeoff between the number of cameras and the depth of 3D objects. The allowable depth for 3D objects is reported.","PeriodicalId":282161,"journal":{"name":"SPIE ITCom","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125740886","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}

However, this enhancement was not found for all sequences. In the present study we report results obtained with a new set of stereoscopic sequences containing depth scenes that were created through manipulation of camera focal length, background scene, and camera convergence point. Viewers were asked to rate both stereoscopic and non-stereoscopic versions of the sequences on naturalness and sense of presence. The methodology of double-stimulus, continuous quality scale (ITU-R Recommendation 500) was used in the subjective assessment. Images in the video sequences were common image format (CIF, 352 x 240 pixels) with a display size of 15.5 cm x 11.6 cm. The results confirmed our previous findings that sense of presence is enhanced for certain stereoscopic video sequences, compared to non-stereoscopic sequences. The results also indicate a high correlation between ratings of naturalness and sense of presence (r2 = 0.75), although ratings tended to be lower for naturalness than for presence. Both ratings tended to improve slightly with camera focal length, except for sequences with a natural background. For the range studied, no effect of camera convergence point was found.","PeriodicalId":282161,"journal":{"name":"SPIE ITCom","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123308040","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}

Today, research is being conducted to produce 3-D displays to meet the complex needs of high-functionality full motion 3D displays at reasonable cost, but without glasses, complicated viewing arrangements or restricted fields of view. Other applications for 3-D displays include but are not limited to CAD/Design simulation, advanced data representation, displaying complex 3-D information for automotive design, medical imaging, advanced navigation displays, scientific visualization, and advertising. The key element in all these applications is an optical beam scanner that can display 3-D images for large viewing angles. Our proposed Code Multiplexed Optical Scanner (C-MOS) can fulfill all these requirements with its high beamforming power capabilities. Our proposed experiment demonstrates three dimensional (3-D) beam scanning with large angles (e.g., > 160°), large centimeter size aperture, and scanning speed of <300 μsec. The robust construction and simple operation of the C-MOS makes it very useful and attractive for deployment in the field of entertainment, defense and medical imaging.

This 3D display system is based on the reconstruction of parallax rays, and it is one of real-time integral imaging systems. To reconstruct a 3D image, the ray-space method is used. By using similarities between the reference plane in the ray-space representation and the screen of the 3D display system, the ray data to display a real 3D object can be obtained with multiview images. Moreover, an arbitrary ray data can be synthesized from captured multiview images. Therefore, an arbitrary viewpoint 3D image can be reconstructed by the 3D display system.

First, the feature value indicating the local image complexity is extracted from the input stereo sequences by using the edge detection and disparity estimation. Then, the matching window size for disparity estimation is adaptively selected depending on the magnitude of this feature value. This new approach is not only able to reduce the disparity vector mismatch encountered in the conventional dense disparity estimation with small matching window size, but is also able to reduce the blocking effect associated with the disparity estimation using a large matching window size. With some experimental results on a sequence of stereo image captured by the web-cameras, it is found that the adaptive algorithm improves PSNRs on the average in comparison with those of the conventional algorithms and multi-view images can be generated through the process of real-time IVS. Finally it is suggested that this approach can be applied to the web-based real-time 3D video communication system.","PeriodicalId":282161,"journal":{"name":"SPIE ITCom","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127174529","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}
