============================================================================
Recently, the importance of three-dimensional (3D) imaging technology has
been significantly increased. With its capability of offering richer
experience, 3D imaging systems are expected to replace traditional systems
in near future in many different areas of industry, business, education, and
entertainment. Especially, multi-camera imaging is a practical approach to
construct 3D imaging systems, since multi-view images or videos can provide
different views of the same scene, offering interactivity as well as 3D
perception. However, in spite of the advantages, there are various
challenges that should be overcome to deploy multi-camera imaging techniques
in practical visual communication systems.
All aspects of image processing systems should be redesigned to communicate
multi-view images efficiently: acquisition, representation, coding, and
display. First, the acquisition step requires the calibration of multiple
cameras and the post-processing procedure to compensate for various
discrepancies, such as illumination differences. Second, it is essential to
develop efficient tools to represent and compress multi-view images or
videos compactly, which require a huge amount of storage space and
transmission bandwidth in general. Third, innovative 3D display technologies
should be developed to enable viewers to experience full 3D parallax without
restrictions
The goal of this special issue is to solicit the state-of-the-art approaches
and technical solutions in the area of multi-camera imaging, coding, and 3D
display. The special issue will provide a convincing forum for researchers
and practitioners to present their latest research results.
Scope
The scope of this special issue is to cover all aspects that relate to
multi-camera imaging, coding, and 3D display. Topics of interest include,
but are not limited to
* Acquisition of multi-view and 3D images
* Calibration and synchronization of multiple cameras
* Depth estimation and view synthesis from multi-view images or videos
* Compact representation and compression of multi-view images or videos
* 3D representation tools: meshes, points, and voxels
* Error resilient multi-view video compression
* Design of 3DTV systems and free viewpoint TV systems
* Stereoscopic, auto-stereoscopic, and holographic display techniques
* Novel applications and constructions of multi-camera and 3D imaging
systems
