Stereo and multi-view cameras have been used to capture the three-dimensional (3D) scene for 3D contents generation. Besides, depth sensors are frequently used to obtain 3D information of the captured scene in real time. In order to generate 3D contents from captured images, we need several preprocessing operations to reduce noises and distortions in the images. 3D contents are considered as the basic media for realistic broadcasting that provides photo-realistic and immersive feeling to users. In this paper, we show technical trends of 3D image capturing and contents generation, and explain some core techniques for 3D image processing for realistic 3DTV broadcasting.

ATSC is currently working on standardization of hybrid 3DTV broadcasting service in heterogenous network environment after completion of service-compatible 3DTV broadcasting service standard based on broadcasting channel. This paper proposes a convergence 3D video broadcasting method on broadcasting and IP network while guaranteeing a Full-HD 3D quality without degrading the image quality of legacy DTV. Specifically, this paper describes transmission of the 3D additional video using the ISO/IEC 23009-1 DASH, robust synchronization method under heterogenous network environments and system target decoder model for hybrid 3DTV receiver. Based on experimental results, we confirm that proposed technologies can be used as a core technology in the hybrid 3DTV standardization and a reference model for a development of hybrid 3DTV encoder and receiver.

This paper introduces a novel repetitive delivery scheme for the left and right views in service-compatible (SC) 3D video that provides full backward compatibility to a legacy DTV system while retaining HD 3D visual quality without additional bandwidth or a codec over the legacy broadcasting channel. The proposed SC delivery scheme transmits individual view sequences of a 3D video in interlaced form, that is, a left-view sequence of a 3DTV program to be used repeatedly is transmitted first and stored locally, and the right-view sequence of the 3D program is then transmitted. This paper specifically describes the signaling, synchronization, and storage format methods used to validate the proposed SC delivery scheme. The experiment results show that the proposed SC delivery scheme can be effectively applied for an SC 3DTV service without degrading the DTV quality using only legacy DTV platforms.

A present experimental broadcasting is service compatible to delivery left view and right view of a dual stream for backward compatible with 2D device. It has a limitation of quality for a transmission of dual stream in terrestrial bandwidth 19 Mbps. This paper proposes adjunct terrestrial-3D broadcasting system which can provide a stable quality beyond a limitation of quality from fixed bandwidth. It proposes the system that composes a high quality stereoscopic video through synchronizing Real time broadcasting and Non Real Time broadcasting Regardless of the terrestrial bandwidth. So this paper tries to analyze each technique of Real-Time broadcasting and NRT broadcasting, and verify this proposal through the technique of an algorithm that we can implement NRT adjunct high quality 3DTV system and the experiments.

Personal broadcasting utilizing Vtuber, a virtual creator made of 2D or 3D avatars, has recently appeared and is growing in popularity. Vtuber is a virtual person who broadcasts on the Internet using 2D or 3D avatars with real-time motion capture and computer graphics technologies. While the personal broadcasting industry utilizing Vtuber is proliferating, related studies have mainly concentrated on technical issues. Therefore, in this study, the antecedent factors that form the technical characteristics and virtual creator characteristics of Vtuber personal broadcasting are derived using the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) model. Then the effect of these factors on viewer pleasure and satisfaction, which lead to increased paid sponsorship is to be examined. Furthermore, we investigate how this influencing mechanism fluctuates based on the avatar type (2D vs. 3D). This study contributes to empirical examinations of viewers' paid sponsorship intention in Vtuber personal broadcasting through the S-O-R model. It also offers insights that technological or virtual creator characteristics could improve viewers' pleasure, satisfaction, and even paid sponsorship.

We implement an interactive 3D audio broadcasting terminal which synthesizes an audio scene according to the request of a user. Audio scene structure is described by the MPEG-4 AudioBIFS specifications. The user updates scene attributes and the terminal synthesizes the corresponding sound images in the 3D space. The terminal supports the MPEG-4 Audio top nodes and some visual nodes. Instead of using sensor nodes and route elements, we predefine node type-specific user interfaces to support BIFS commands for field replacement. We employ sound spatialization, directivity/shape modeling, and reverberation effects for 3D audio rendering and realistic feedback to user inputs. We also introduce a virtual concert program as an application scenario of the interactive broadcasting terminal.

A holographic display system with a 22-inch LCD panel is developed to provide a wide viewing angle and large holographic 3D image. It is realized by steering a narrow viewing window resulting from a very large pixel pitch compared to the wave length of the laser light. Point light sources and a lens array make it possible to arbitrarily control the position of the viewing window for a moving observer. The holographic display provides both eyes of the observer with a holographic 3D image using two vertically placed LCD panels and a beam splitter to support the holographic stereogram.

대한민국에서 3DTV 방송서비스는 더 이상 '미래방송서비스'가 아니다. EBS는 올해 4월 지상파 DTV 주파수에서 세계최초로 2D/3D 혼용방송서비스를 실시하였으며, 오는 10월 15일에는 APC(Automatic Program Controller)와 연동하여 방송스케줄에 따라 자동으로 3D 방송을 송출하는 시스템을 구축하여 2차 시범방송을 진행할 예정이다. 이렇게 3D 방송을 위한 기술적 준비는 차근차근 이루어지고 있음에 반하여, 3D 방송서비스에 대한 시청자의 호응은 그다지 크지 않다. 이것은 방송되는 3D 콘텐츠의 양과 질이 부족하기 때문으로 풀이된다. 이 같은 3D 방송서비스의 장애요소에 착안하여, 본 논문에서는 3D 콘텐츠 제작효율을 높이고, 만들어지는 3D 방송콘텐츠의 품질을 높이기 위한 하나의 방법으로서, 제작현장에서 활용할 수 있는 3D 콘텐츠 제작과 밀접한 관련이 있는 새로운 참조지표인 '입체충실도(Depth Fidelity)'를 정의하여 제안하고자 한다. 입체충실도를 도출하기 위해 우선 양안식(兩眼式) 3D 입체영상의 특징을 분석하였고, 시청자 체감 가상깊이를 계산하여 활용하였다. 또한 연구를 통해 도출한 입체충실도 계산 알고리즘이 적용된 EBS 입체계산기(Stereoscopic Calculator) 애플리케이션을 개발하여 안드로이드 스마트폰에서 이용할 수 있도록 함으로써, 카메라감독과 프로듀서 등 방송제작 현업 스태프들이 연구결과를 활용할 수 있도록 했다.

Traditionally R&D evaluation has been performed by experts who can understand the contents of the study area very well. Recently extensive application of quantitative evaluation methods have been attempted for introducing the administrative management system that poses greater importance on records and results. More objective reviews on the R&D outcomes are called for gaining public supports. In this paper a bibliometrical analysis is to be performed to evaluate satellite communication and broadcasting public R&D outcomes for last 7 years. Data envelopment analysis method is selected for evaluating the efficiencies of multiple outputs (papers, patents, royalties, technology transfers) where multiple inputs (number of researchers and R&D expenses) are given. R&D outcomes from 22 research institutes are being compared and satellite communication and broadcasting R&D efforts turn out to be highly efficient.

This paper introduces the HD 3DTV camera and 3DTV receiver that are compatible with the ATSC HDTV broadcasting system. The developed 3DTV camera is based on stereoscopic techniques, and it has control function to control both left and right zoom lens simultaneously and to control the vergence. Moreover, in order to control the vergence manually and to eliminate the synchronization problem of the both images, the 3DTV camera has the 3DTV video multiplexing function to combine the left and right images into the single image. The developed 3DTV signal, and it has the various analog/digital interfaces. The performance of the developed system is confirmed by shooting the selected soccer game in 2002 FIFA KOREA/JAPANTM World Cup and by broadcasting the match. The HD 3DTV camera and receiver will be applied to the 3DTV industries such as 3D movie, 3D game, 3D image processing, 3DTV broadcasting system, and so on.
