Hybrid Camera System for Three-dimensional Realistic Broadcasting Services
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a new system to generate multiview video sequences with depth information (MVD) by integrating multiple high-definition (HD) camera arrays and one standard-definition (SD) depth camera. In the proposed hybrid camera system, we first create the initial disparity for each HD color image by applying a threedimensional (3-D) warping operation on the depth map acquired by the depth camera. Then, the final disparity for each HD image is obtained by a stereo matching algorithm with the initial disparity. Finally, we generate the HD depth map for each HD image by converting the final disparity into the depth information. Experimental results show that the depth map generated by the hybrid camera system provides reliable depth information for 3D realistic broadcasting services. Besides, the proposed system minimizes the inherent problems of conventional depth cameras, such as limitation of measuring distance for depth information and generation of low-resolution depth maps.

Three-dimensional Video Generation for Realistic Broadcasting Services
In this paper, we propose a new scheme to generate multi-view video-plus-depth using a hybrid camera system, which is composed of one depth camera and multiple video cameras. In order to create the threedimensional (3-D) video, we first calculate the initial disparity for each view by projecting depth camera data onto each video camera using 3-D image warping. Then, a stereo matching algorithm ...

متن کاملVirtual View Generation with A Hybrid Camera Array
Virtual view synthesis from an array of cameras has been an essential element of three-dimensional video broadcasting/conferencing. In this paper, we propose a scheme based on a hybrid camera array consisting of four regular video cameras and one time-of-flight depth camera. During rendering, we use the depth image from the depth camera as initialization, and compute a view-dependent scene geom...
