High fidelity computer graphics preview and predictive displays provide substantial aid in four major space telerobotic activities: overall workspace design including viewing conditions, specific workspace analysis for given tasks in a fixed setting, operator training, and reduction of operator’s uncertainty and operation time under communication time delay conditions. Computer graphics display...

First demonstrated in 1968 [Suther68], head-mounted displays [HMDs] have the potential to immerse a user inside a “virtual world,” where the user can view and interact with computer-generated three-dimensional environments. However, today’s systems far fall short of creating completely convincing virtual environments. Much work remains in overcoming limitations in the technologies that drive HM...

A novel image contrast enhancement (ICE) circuit was proposed by modulating the reference voltages of the source driver circuit in liquid-crystal displays (LCDs). The adjustment of reference voltages is achieved immediately by applying external adjustment codes, which may be generated in accordance with the video data distribution on image displays and the liquid crystal materials, and leads to...

Watching 3D without glasses will be the future of 3D home entertainment. However, current stereoscopic 3D content is not suited to drive autostereoscopic displays and a 3D format conversion is required. In this paper a system is presented which is capable of high quality stereo-tomultiview conversion in real-time. This allows playback of 3D Blu-ray or any other stereoscopic 3D video content wit...

We present a technique that allows users of video seethrough head-mounted displays to work at close range without the typical loss of stereo perception due to reduced nasal side stereo overlap in most of today’s

In low light environment, the surveillance video image has lower contrast, less information and uneven brightness. To solve this problem, this paper puts forward a contrast resolution compensation algorithm based on human visual perception model. It extracts Y component from the YUV video image acquired by camera originally to subtract contrast feature parameters, then makes a proportional inte...

Subjective assessment of Quality of Experience in stereoscopic 3D requires new guidelines for the environmental setup as existing standards such as ITU-R BT.500 may no longer be appropriate. A first step is to perform cross-lab experiments in different viewing conditions on the same video sequences. Three international labs performed Absolute Category Rating studies on a freely available video ...

New display resolutions such as 8K bring new demands on supporting processor technology. The author analyzes, from a compute viewpoint, the typical lifecycle of video in consumer entertainment alongside an equivalent IoT market for large-format displays.

The demand for more efficient browsing of video data is expected to increase as greater access to this type of data becomes available. This experiment looked at one technique for displaying video data using key frame surrogates that are presented as a "slide show". Subjects viewed key frames for between one and four video clips simultaneously. Following this presentation, the subjects performed...

Creativity is a primary and essential part of the engineering design process. So, multiple support tools are developed to aid engineers and designers in the creative design process. The use of visual displays is seen as a helpful and encouraging tool in design problem solving. The paper concludes a brief literature on the engineering design process, activities performed during its stages and va...
