Glasses-free 200-view 3D Video System for Highly Realistic Communication

We investigate highly realistic communication systems using a super-multi-view three-dimensional (3D) video system. We propose and develop a glasses-free 200-view 3D display using almost 200 high-definition (HD) projector units to reconstruct such natural life-size 3D moving objects as cars and humans. We are also developing a 3D capturing system with HD camera units and researching multi-view video transmission techniques for demonstration experiments for the abovementioned highly realistic communication system.

Parallel processing method for realtime FTV

In this paper, we propose a parallel processing method to generate free viewpoint image in realtime. It is impossible to arrange the cameras in a high density realistically though it is necessary to capture images of the scene from innumerable cameras to express the free viewpoint image. Therefore, it is necessary to interpolate the image of arbitrary viewpoint from limited captured images. However, this process has the relation of the trade-off between the image quality and the computing time. In proposed method, it aimed to generate the high-quality free viewpoint image in realtime by applying the parallel processing to time-consuming interpolation part.
