Extending visual content and communications with a third dimension, or
otherwise capturing a dynamic scene in 3D and generating an optical
duplicate of it at a remote site and in real-time, has been a dream
over decades. The goal of the viewing experience is to create the
illusion of a real environment in its absence, while all core and
peripheral components related to this goal are collectively referred
as three-dimensional television (3DTV). From a technological point of
view, this goal targets advances over the whole 3DTV chain, including
3D image acquisition, 3D representation, compression, transmission,
signal processing, interactive rendering, 3D display as well as
customized 3DTV applications and spans a number of research fields
from applied mathematics, computer science, and engineering. In a
successful and consumer-accepted operation of 3DTV, the integration
and interaction of all such functional components are required.
The objective of the proposed Special Issue is to present the works
and efforts of researchers with diverse experience and activity in
distinct, yet related and complementary areas, for achieving
full-scale three-dimensional television.
Papers on the following and related list of topics are solicited, but
are not limited to:
* 3D Capture and Processing: 3D time-varying scene capture technology,
multicamera synchronization and recording, camera calibration and 3D
view registration, holographic camera techniques, 3D motion analysis
and tracking, surface modeling and segmentation, multiview image, and
3D data processing
* 3D Representation: Representation of 3D video information,
volumetric and 3D mesh representation, texture and point
representation, object-based representation and segmentation
* 3D Transmission: 3D data streaming, error-related issues and
handling of 3D video, hologram compression, multiview video coding, 3D
mesh compression, multiple description coding for 3D
* 3D Display: Stereoscopic and holographic display techniques, reduced
parallax systems and integral imaging, optics and VLSI technology,
projection and display technology for 3D videos, human factors
* 3D Applications: 3D imaging in cultural heritage and virtual
archaeology, teleimmersion and remote collaboration, augmented reality
and virtual environments, 3D television, cinema, games, and
entertainment, biomedical applications, 3D content-based retrieval and
recognition
