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

Abstract

This chapter provides a general perspective of the feasibility options of the digital broadcasting networks for delivering three-dimensional TV (3D-TV) services. It discusses factors (e.g., data format) that need to be accounted for in the deployment stages of 3D-TV services over broadcast networks with special emphasis made on systems based on Depth-Image-Based Rendering (DIBR) techniques.
