Digital technologies in the digital image field are developing and changing rapidly while creating various forms of media environments. In particular, broadcasting image-processing technologies provide more realistic images through the development of multimedia technology. Consequently, the needs of flat image quality have been nearly met, leading to technological saturation. Currently, flat images possess the advantages of popularity and freedom from visual fatigue over three-dimensional stereoscopic images. A complementary technology for flat images is the stereoscopic perception improvement technology. To examine correlations between stereoscopic perception and colour attributes for graphic images on flat displays, we have conducted experiments related to stereoscopic perception and analysed the results. In these experiments, the colour attributes of hue, value, and chroma were applied at different levels. Next, the factors that provide the highest stereoscopic perception and their interactions were analysed through analysis of variance. Finally, this study defines the significance of colour factors related to stereoscopic perception by analysing the experimental results, and proposes a colour adjustment method for improved stereoscopic perception in graphics image processing.

3D Vision system has many applications recently but popularization have many problems that need to be overcome. Volumetric display may process a amount of visual data and design the high efficient vision system for display. In case of stereo system for volumetric display, disparity vectors from the stereoscopic sequences and residual images with the reference images has been transmitted, and the reconstructed stereoscopic sequences have been displayed at the receiver. So central issue for the design of efficient volumetric vision system lies in selecting an appropriate stereo matching and robust vision system. In this paper, we propose high efficient vision system with the reduction of rectification error which can perform the 3D data extraction efficiently with low computational complexity. In experimental results with proposed vision system, the proposed method can perform the 3D data extraction efficiently with reducing rectification error and low computational complexity.

The compression performance of HEVC (high efficiency video coding) is improved 40%, compared to H.264/AVC. Since the existing 3D video CODEC is based on H.264/AVC or MPEG-2, we can improve the compression performance when we use the proposed stereoscopic video coding method based on HEVC. Since the stereoscopic video has the temporal and inter-view correlations, the videos of the left and right cameras encode together to improve the performance. Especially, we implemented the proposed technique using HM(HEVC test model) 3.4. To compare the performance of the proposed method, we only compare the right view video which is coded using the inter-view prediction. The proposed method which is considered inter-view correlation is improved the performance which BDBR reduce about 36.24% and BDPSNR increase approximately 1.19 dB compared to the separated-coding method.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm that creates three-dimensional (3D) stereoscopic video from two-dimensional (2D) video encoded by H.264 instead of using two cameras conventionally. Very accurate motion vectors are available in H.264 bit streams because of the availability of a variety of block sizes. 2D/3D conversion algorithm proposed in this paper can create left and right images by using extracted motion information. Image type of a given image is first determined from the extracted motion information and each image type gives a different conversion algorithm. The cut detection has also been performed in order to prevent overlapping of two totally different scenes for left and right images. We show an improved performance of the proposed algorithm through experimental results.

In this paper, we propose a method of producing a stereoscopic image from multiple images captured from a monoscopic camera. By translating a camera in the horizontal direction, left and right images are chosen among N captured images. For this, image edges are extracted and a rotational angle is estimated from edge orientation. Also, a translational vector is also estimated from the correlation of projected image data. Then, two optimal images are chosen and subsequently compensated using the rotational angle as well as the translational vector in order to make a satisfactory stereoscopic image. The proposed method was performed on thirty-two test image set. The subjective visual fatigue test was carried out to validate the 3D quality of stereoscopic images. In terms of visual fatigue, the 3D satisfaction ratio reached approximately 84%.

We firstly report liquid crystal shutter based on plastic film and its application to 3D shutter for stereoscopic displays. Plastic liquid crystal shutters have remarkable advantages compared to conventional glass liquid crystal shutters. They are thin, light and non-breakable so that very comfortable 3D shutter eye-wear can be realized using them. The concepts, optical performances and reliability test results of plastic film liquid crystal shutters are presented.

This paper presents a visual feedback system that controls a micromanipulator using multiple microscopic vision information. The micromanipulation stations basically have optical microscope. However the single field-of-view of optical microscope essentially limits the workspace of the micromanipulator and low dept-of-field makes it difficult to handle 3D-shaped micro objects. The system consists of a stereoscopic microscope, three CCD cameras, the micromanipulator and personal computer. The use of stereoscopic microscope which has long working distance and high depth-of-field with selective field-of-view improves the recognizability of 3D-shaped micro objects and provides a method for overcoming several essential limitations in micromanipulation. Thus, visual feedback information is very important in handling micro objects for overcoming those limitations and provides a mean for the ...

Stereoscopic 3D video can be transmitted by frame-compatible packing format to fulfill the compatibility requirement with the existing digital TV. Then, the reduced stereo image needs to be expanded to the original size at the receiver. This paper proposes an adaptive interpolation method for the discarded image lines. The horizontal line-based linear filter and NEDI6 filter are used selectively for the interpolation of each pixel. Experimental results show that the NEDI6 combined with the horizontal line-based linear filter yields better image quality than the bilinear method by around 0.6dB.

The dual-stream based stereoscopic 3D broadcasting standard was developed in 2011. EBS broadcasted 3DTV experimental service according to this standard in April 2012. Dual-stream based 3DTV broadcasting is service-compatible and backward-compatible, so viewers who have legacy 2D HDTV can watch the broadcasting content as 2D. And 3DTV viewers can select watching 2D or 3D. Since 3D content production is not usual yet for terrestrial broadcasters, only some particular programs in specific periods will be broadcasted as 3D at the initiatory stage. For it, stable viewing condition is strongly required for both 2D viewers and 3D viewers. This paper suggests broadcasting transmission system structure and effective switching scheme for stable 2D and 3D viewing conditions in the case of dual-stream based terrestrial 3DTV broadcasting.

영상시장의 개척과 디지털 기술의 발전과 더불어 차세대 3D 입체영상기술에 대한 관심과 수요가 증가하고 있다. 입체 정보는 크게 '단안 입체 정보(monoscopic depth cue)'와 '양안 입체 정보(stereoscopic depth cue)'로 분류 할 수 있다. 단안 입체 정보는 은폐, 상대적 크기, 상대적 밀도, 시야 안의 높이, 공기투시, 운동투시, 초점조절인 7가지로 경험에 의한 입체감을 지각하는 것을 말하며 양안 입체 정보는 두 눈으로 볼 때 처음으로 깊이를 지각 할 수 있는 것으로 크게 '동시시(simultaneous perception)', '융합(sensory fusion)', '입체시(stereoscopic vision)'의 세종류의 기능으로 분류한다. 3D 촬영은 이 양안시의 원리를 이용하여 두 대의 카메라의 좌우 영상을 합성하여 깊이감 있는 영상을 만들어 내게 된다. 본 논문에서는 3D 촬영방법은 촬영방식에 따라 크게 평행방식, 직교방식, 교차방식이 있는데 이중 중 원거리 촬영에 유리한 교차방식을 활용하여 사이드 바이 사이드 리그(Rig; 카메라를 수평으로 설치할 수 있도록 만들어진 장치)를 원거리 촬영에 맞게 축간거리를 기존의 리그 사이즈보다 2배 이상 긴 리그를 제작하여 보다 먼 거리에서의 상이한 좌우 영상획득이 가능하도록 설계하였다. 또한, 일정한 간격에 따라 피사체를 촬영하면서 거리에 따른 양 카메라의 가장 이상적인 IOD(Interocular Distance)와 CONV(Convergence)를 찾고, 교차방식촬영에 따른 특징적인 아티팩트인 키스톤 왜곡(Keystone distance)의 보정을 통한 원거리 입체영상을 효과적으로 획득하는데 본 연구방법을 제안하고자 한다.
