Image resizing (or scaling) is one of the most essential issues for the success of visual service because image data has to be adapted to the variety of display features. For 2D imaging, the image scaling is generally accomplished by 2D image re-sampling (i.e., up-/down-sampling). However, when it comes to stereoscopic 3D images, 2D re-sampling methods are inadequate because additional consideration on the third dimension of depth is not incorporated. Practically, stereoscopic 3D image scaling is process with left/right images, not stereoscopic 3D image itself, because the left/right Images are only tangible data. In this paper, we analyze stereoscopic 3D image scaling from two aspects: geometrical deformation and frequency-domain aliasing. A number of 3D displays are available in the market and they have various screen dimensions. As we have more varieties of the displays, efficient stereoscopic 3D image scaling is becoming more emphasized. We present the recommendations for the 3D scaling from the geometric analysis and propose a disparity-adaptive filter for anti-aliasing which could occur during the image scaling process.

Nowadays, digital broadcasting providers have plan to extend their service area to 3D broadcasting without exchanging conventional system and equipments. The maintenance of backward compatibility to conventional 2D broadcasting system is very importance issue on digital broadcasting. To satisfy the requirement, highly-optimized MPEG-2 video encoder is essential for coding left-view and new video coding techniques having higher performance than MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 is needed for right-view since terrestrial broadcasting system has very limited and fixed bandwidth. In this paper, conventional video coding algorithms and new video coding algorithms are analyzed to present a capable solution for the best quality stereoscopic 3D broadcasting keeping backward compatibility within the bandwidth.

This paper analyzes the 3D accuracy of stereo images captured from a mobile phone. For 3D accuracy evaluation, we have compared the accuracy result according to the amount of the convergence angle. In order to calculate the 3D model space coordinate of control points, we perform inner orientation, distortion correction and image geometry estimation. And the quantitative 3D accuracy was evaluated by transforming the 3D model space coordinate into the 3D object space coordinate. The result showed that relatively precise 3D information is generated in more than $17^{\circ}$ convergence angle. Consequently, it is necessary to set up stereo model structure consisting adequate convergence angle as an measurement distance and a baseline distance for accurate 3D information generation. It is expected that the result would be used to stereoscopic 3D contents and 3D reconstruction from images captured by a mobile phone camera.

This paper presents a framework of real-time augmented reality on 3-D mobile display with stereo camera tracking. In the framework, camera poses are jointly estimated with the geometric relationship between stereoscopic images, which is based on model-based tracking. With the estimated camera poses, the virtual contents are correctly augmented on stereoscopic images through image rectification. For real-time performance, stereo camera tracking and image rectification are efficiently performed using multiple threads. Image rectification and color conversion are accelerated with a GPU processing. The proposed framework is tested and demonstrated on a commercial smartphone, which is equipped with a stereoscopic camera and a parallax barrier 3-D display.

깊이 정보를 획득하기 위해서 가장 많이 시도되는 방법이 스테레오 정합이다. 스테레오 정합 알고리즘은 다양한 알고리즘의 조합으로 구성되며, 파라메터 또한 다양하다. 일반적으로는 middlebury에서 제공하는 영상과 ground truth를 이용해서 스테레오 정합 알고리즘을 연구하고, 파라메터 최적화 과정을 거친다. 실제 시스템에 알고리즘 및 파라메터를 적용할 때 middlebury 영상으로 선택된 알고리즘과 파라메터가 상이할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 실제 시스템의 스테레오 카메라를 이용해서 ground truth를 만들 수 있는 방법을 제안하다. 프로젝트를 이용해서 패턴을 투사하고, 스테레오 카메라로 영상을 획득한다. 한 장면에 대해서 다양한 영상으로 스테레오 정합을 수행하여 만들어진 disparity map은 높은 정확성을 가지고 있음으로, 스테레오 정합 알고리즘 검증용 ground truth로 사용이 가능하다.

The 3D infrared image enhancement with Stereoscopic algorithm on still infrared image is presented. The adapted stereoscopic method is that the depth is extracted by comparison with right-left image, and the enhanced 3D infrared image by matching based on feature is realized. As the result of experiment this method forces a 3D infrared image by the edge lines to be more smooth.

This paper proposes a new 3D image transmission technique using digital watermarking for compatibility with conventional 2D digital TV. To transmit 3D images effectively, generally, we use image sequence transmission using temporal-spatial redundancy between stereo images. It is difficult for users with conventional digital TV to watch the transmitted 3D image sequence because of effectivity of 3D image compression. To improve such problem, in this paper, we perceive the concealment of new information of digital watermarking and conceal information of the other stereo image into three channels of the reference image. So we can watch the image with 3D TV as well as conventional digital TV when it is decoded.

We present a method to reproduce in-between views from captured stereo images to control depth feeling that a user can perceive on a 3D display. The stereo images captured from a pair of cameras have a fixed viewpoint and a screen parallax which depend on the physical position and the distance between the cameras. In this paper, we produce stereo images of an intermediate viewpoint between two original cameras by a view interpolation on the input stereo images. Furthermore, the camera separation of the reproduced stereo images can be controlled by a linear interpolation coefficient used by the view interpolation. By using the proposed method, stereo images can be reproduced where the depth feeling and a three dimensional effect is suitable for the individual's eye separation or the characteristic of an application.
