A HEVC-based scalable 3D video coding system is proposed. The proposed system supports scalable transmission of multiview video data with depth maps. Key technologies in this system are reference picture management, reference picture list construction, and cross-layer dependency signaling. All the proposed technologies are used for the development of video coding system for UHD stereo display and glassless 3D display.

The idea of displaying hologram electronically has been existed since mid $1960^{th}$. But it is still in the beginning stage due to the lacks of proper means of displaying and recording, which will bear the large amount of data contained in the hologram though holographic video and digital holography have demonstrated the possibility of displaying and photographing hologram electronically. It is expected that holography based 3 dimensional imaging system will be introduced much later than that on multiview 3 dimensional imaging methods which are being developed to generate more realistic and natural image than high definition plane images.

A new exposure time scheduling scheme to implement the optimized photopolymer-based VHOE is proposed and using this method, the 8-view VHOE system is experimentally developed. The CGS dependence on the exposure energy is mathematically modeled using the fourth-order polynomial function and using this model optimized exposure-time schedule for recording the given multiple gratings in the photopolymer is calculated. In addition, basing on this suggested exposure-time schedule, 8-view VHOE is finally implemented and its performance is discussed.

A natural 3D image is considered by many people to be next-step in evolution of displays. This paper introduces autostereoscopic 3D of 60-view number, which is made using slanted lenticular lens array and LCD of 15.1 inch diagonal size and 3200 by 2400 pixel numbers and presents the results of our prototype. Due to its large view number, smooth motion parallax is observed and the visual fatigue is reduced.

In this paper, we introduce a real-time stereo-to-multiview conversion system using FPGA and GPU. The system is based on two different devices so that it consists of two major blocks. The first block is a disparity estimation block that is implemented on FPGA. In this block, each disparity map of stereoscopic video is estimated by DP(dynamic programming)-based stereo matching. And then the estimated disparity maps are refined by post-processing. The refined disparity map is transferred to the GPU device through USB 3.0 and PCI-express interfaces. Stereoscopic video is also transferred to the GPU device. These data are used to render arbitrary number of virtual views in next block. In the second block, disparity-based view interpolation is performed to generate virtual multi-view video. As a final step, all generated views have to be re-arranged into a single image at full resolution for presenting on the target autostereoscopic 3D display. All these steps of the second block are performed in parallel on the GPU device.

In this research, we conducted an experiment on evaluating the extending depth information method and surface reconstruction method and the interaction of these two methods in order to enhance the final intermediate view images, which are acquired using DIBR (Depth-Image-Based Rendering) method. We evaluated the experimental control groups using the Microsoft's "Ballet" and "Break Dancer" data sets with three different hole-filling algorithms. The result revealed that the quality was improved the most by applying both extending depth information and surface reconstruction method as compared to the previous point clouds only. In addition, it found that the quality of the intermediate images was improved vastly by only applying extending depth information when using no hole-filling algorithm.

The usual method of generating an image for a multiview display system requires acquiring a color image and depth information of a reference camera. Then, intermediate images, generated using DIBR method, will be captured at a number of different viewpoints and composed to construct an multiview image. When such intermediate views are generated, several holes would be shown because some hidden parts are shown when the screenshot is taken at different angle. Previous research tried to solve this problem by creating a new hole-filling algorithm or enhancing the depth information. This paper describes a new method of enhancing the intermediate view images by applying the Ball Pivoting algorithm, which constructs meshes from a point cloud. When the new method is applied to the Microsoft's "Ballet" and "Break Dancer" data sets, PSNR comparison shows that about 0.18~1.19 increasement. This paper will explaing the new algorithm and the experiment method and results.

본 논문에서는 렌티큘러 렌즈를 이용한 무안경 입체 디스플레이 환경에서 렌티큘러 렌즈의 속성과 디스플레이 장치의 속성의 변화에 따라 다중 시점에서 촬영한 영상으로부터 적응적으로 하나의 다시점 입체 합성 영상을 생성하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안 방법에서는 렌티큘러 렌즈의 기본 속성과 디스플레이 장치의 기본 속성값을 고려하여 다중 시점에서 획득된 영상의 서브픽셀들의 가중 평균을 구하고 이를 다시점 입체 합성 영상의 서브 픽셀의 값으로 사용하도록 하였다. 여러 다시점 영상을 이용한 실험을 통하여, 렌티큘러 렌즈의 속성과 디스플레이 장치의 속성이 정확히 하드웨어적으로 일치 하지 않은 상황에서도 본 논문에서 제안하는 적응적 다시점 서브 픽셀 재배치 기법을 통하여 3D 입체감이 안정적으로 제공됨을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we present a new method to reduce crosstalk of a glasses-free three-dimensional (3D) display using a multi-view image processing technique. Since crosstalk makes the current view image mixed with its neighboring ones, the output 3D image becomes severely blurred. We apply adaptive depth retargeting and view gradient-based crosstalk inverse filtering onto a multi-view image to minimize crosstalk of the glasses-free 3D display. In addition, overflow and underflow pixels are compensated by epipolar image pixel interpolation so that visual artifacts are minimized. Experimental results show that the proposed method reduces crosstalk more efficiently than the previous work while improving 3D image quality.
