3D-TV System with Depth-Image-Based Rendering

Abstract

Multi-view video (MVV) representation based on depth data, such as multi-view video plus depth (MVD), is emerging a new type of 3D video communication services. In the meantime, the problem of coding and transmitting the depth video is being raised in addition to classical texture video. Depth video is considered as key side information in novel view synthesis within MVV systems, such as three-dimensional television (3D-TV) or free viewpoint television (FTV). Nonetheless the influence of depth compression on the novel synthesized view is still a contentious issue. In this chapter, we propose to discuss and investigate the impact of the wavelet-based compression of the depth video on the quality of the view synthesis. After the analysis, different frameworks are presented to reduce the disturbing depth compression effects on the novel synthesized view.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Hysteresis is used to track the more relevant pixels along the contours. Hysteresis uses two thresholds and if the magnitude is below the first threshold, it is set to zero (made a nonedge). If the magnitude is above the high threshold, it is made an edge. And if the magnitude is between the two thresholds, then it is set to zero unless the pixel is located near a edge detected by the high threshold.
