The broad goals of this project are to develop new techniques of human interaction with stereo displays, particularly autostereoscopic (AS) displays. Autostereoscopic displays produce a 3D visual sensation to one or more observers without the use of glasses, goggles, helmets, or headtracking. We are developing new techniques for interactive input and manipulation of threedimensional data using ...

The Multimedia Video Engine is an embedded system for real-time image-processing application The apparatus captures a video signal from an analog source, it processes the data by using a high performance digital signal processor (TMS320C6415), and then displays the results on a graphics monitor. Since several video imaging applications require user interaction, a graphical user interface (GUI) ...

— This paper presents a new approach for generation of super-resolution stereoscopic and multi-view video from monocular video. Such multi-view video is used for instance with multiuser 3D displays or auto-stereoscopic displays with head-tracking to create a depth impression of the observed scenery. Our approach is an extension of the realistic stereo view synthesis (RSVS) approach which is bas...

Pulsed IR illumination is used to segment near obstacles and hazards from the background from incoming video to a wearable low vision aid that displays icons.

We introduce a new holo-video display architecture (“Mark III”) developed at the MIT Media Laboratory. The goal of the Mark III project is to reduce the cost and size of a holo-video display, making it into an inexpensive peripheral to a standard desktop PC or game machine which can be driven by standard graphics chips. Our new system is based on lithium niobate guided-wave acousto-optic device...

This paper proposes a novel framework for the processing of auto-stereo video. It is based on the video-plusdepth data representation and provides high compatibility with diverse displays. An effective stereo matching algorithm based on the genetic algorithm is adopted to generate the depth map streams for the first and last video streams. The layered coding scheme is proposed to transmit the c...

Rigorous object-oriented design and programming produced a robust, extensible, long-lived system for the control of real-time investigations of reading from video displays.

One-dimensional (1-D) Dynamic supply Voltage Scaling (DVS) scheme with image distortion compensation is proposed for reducing the static power consumption in AMOLED displays. A hybrid simulation platform combining MATLAB and circuit simulator HSPICE was built for the study. By applying the DVS scheme to both static images and video streams, it is shown significant power saving can be achieved (...

Two applications from different projects in which video content is distributed over in-home networked devices are presented. Multiple displays and ambience objects are used to display interactive content. Major issues concern the design of appropriate evaluation methodologies, the use of perceived video quality to achieve efficient resource allocation and the subjective role of content consumpt...

At a receiver terminal, true 3D video provides ability to watch views selected from a large number of available views. Such ability is needed for the forthcoming 3D video applications like free-view television, autostereoscopic displays etc. Delivery of many views through communication channels is a challenging problem that has to be solved in the near future. In this paper, we study delivery o...
