In this paper, we propose a dense depth estimation pipeline for multiview 360∘ images. The proposed leverages spherical camera model that compensates radial distortion in key contribution of paper is the extension to by introducing translation scaling scheme. Moreover, an effective method setting virtual and minimizing photonic reprojection error. We validate performance using images natural sc...

Drowning is a serious public health problem threat claiming the lives of 372,000 people each year worldwide that can be linked to an individual’s ability swim. Learning swim requires limited fear water. This exploratory study investigated potential interests 360° video use for reducing and apprehension underpin aquaphobia. Two students aged 11–12 years old who were non-swimmers with reluctance ...

As applications of omnidirectional video are only recently becoming available for the general public (e.g. in the form of online advertising), research on user attitudes towards and experience of this technology has been limited. In this paper, we report the results of a qualitative user study in which we collected feedback on the use of omnidirectional video in a theatrical performance and for...

This survey paper discusses the 3D image processing challenges posed by present and future immersive telecommunications, especially immersive video conferencing and television. We introduce the concepts of presence, immersion and co-presence, and discuss their relation with virtual collaborative environments in the context of communications. Several examples are used to illustrate the current s...

This paper presents a panoramic broadcasting system for mobile entertainment using 3G network or Wifi where multiple viewers share an experience but each having full control of what they see independent from other viewers. Our solution involves a compact real-time spherical video recording setup that compresses and transmits data from six digital video cameras to a central host computer, which ...
