We present an eye tracking system using a low cost 3D CMOS imager for 3D displays that ensures a correct auto stereoscopic view of position- dependent stereoscopic 3D images. The tracker is capable of segmenting the foreground objects (viewer) from background objects using their relative distance from the camera. The tracker is a novel 3D CMOS Image Sensor based on Time of Flight (TOF) principle using innovating photon gating techniques. The basic feature incorporates real time depth imaging by capturing the shape of a light-pulse front as it is reflected from a three dimensional object. The basic architecture and main building blocks of a real time depth CMOS pixel are described. For this application, we use a stereoscopic type of display using parallax barrier elements that is described as well.

The metaverse is expected to evolve into an immersive environment based on photorealistic stereoscopic imaging to integrate real and virtual worlds. To transition from flat images to immersive stereoscopic images, such as light fields and holograms, a continuous cycle of technological development should be reached in media, content, and device technologies, ranging from acquisition and generation to transmission and synthesis as well as reproduction and interaction. Additionally, owing to the multitude of components involved in the metaverse, proper service realization will be challenging without concurrent advancements in computing and communication technologies that facilitate the integration of such components. We introduce research and development trends in media, contents, and devices at the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute toward the next generation of stereoscopic images.

Stereo vision has become an important technical issue in the field of 3D imaging, machine vision, robotics, image analysis, and so on. The depth map extraction from stereo video is a key technology of stereoscopic 3D video requiring stereo correspondence algorithms. This is the matching process of the similarity measure for each disparity value, followed by an aggregation and optimization step. Since it requires a lot of computational power, there are significant speed-performance advantages when exploiting parallel processing available on processors. In this situation, multi-core CPU may allow many parallel programming technologies to be realized in users computing devices. This paper proposes parallel implementations for calculating disparity map using a shared memory programming and exploiting the streaming SIMD extension technology. By doing so, we can take advantage both of the hardware and software features of multi-core processor. For the performance evaluation, we implemented a parallel SAD algorithm with OpenMP and SSE2. Their processing speeds are compared with non parallel version on stereoscopic streaming video. The experimental results show that both technologies have a significant effect on the performance and achieve great improvements on processing speed.

In recent years, the developments in 3D technologies have initiated the commercialization of 3D services on mobile devices. For this purpose, stereoscopic 3D technology is used, which enables 3D TV on mobile devices including smartphone with glasses-free 3D viewing. As a result, the issues related with stereo imaging have been spotlighted greatly. Especially, three MPEG coding standards are provided for mobile 3D services, namely H.264/AVC with and without SEI message and H.264/MVC. In this respect, this paper presents an overview of developments in stereoscopic technologies for mobile devices to gain some perspective on the changes and progress. in this paper, we verified the availability of android based stereoscipic 3D technology related with mobile 3D TV and Smartphone with special emphasis on 3D video format and 3D features by various technollogy characteristics analysis.

3D 입체영상을 제작하기 위해서는 2D 영상제작에 비해 오랜 제작 기간과 많은 비용이 발생한다. 비용 절감을 위해 기존의 2D 영상을 3D 입체영상으로 변환하는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 2D 영상을 3D 입체영상으로 변환하는 방식은 자동변환방법과 수동변환방법으로 구분할 수 있으며, 고품질의 2D-3D 변환 영상을 획득하기 위해서는 깊이정보 지도(Depth map chart)를 활용한 수동변환 방법을 많이 사용되고 있다. 하지만 2D-3D 수동변환에 사용되는 깊이정보 지도의 정량적 분석 데이터가 부족하여 사용자가 변환한 이미지에 대한 정확한 기준 깊이값 설정이 어려운 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 깊이정보 지도의 깊이값 정보에 대한 정량적 분석 데이터를 바탕으로 한 2D-3D 수동변환 변화범위를 제시함으로써 적정한 영상 변화를 유도할 수 있도록 한다.

In order to simulate a depth-of-field effect in real world, there have been several researches in computer graphics field. It can represent an out-of-focused scene by calculating focal plane. When a point in a 3D coordinate lies on further or nearer than focal plane, the point is presented as a blurred circle on image plane according to the characteristic of the aperture and the lens. We can generate a realistic image by simulating the effect because it provides an out-of-focused scene like human eye dose. In this paper, we propose a method to calculate a disparity value of a viewer using a customized stereoscopic eye-tracking system and a GPU-based depth-of-field control method. They enable us to generate more realistic images reducing side effects such as dizziness. Since stereoscopic imaging system compels the users to fix their focal position, they usually feel discomfort during watching the stereoscopic images. The proposed method can reduce the side effect of stereoscopic display system and generate more immersive images.

In order to analyze the quantitative characteristics of acoustic streaming, experimental setup of 3-D stereoscopic PIV(particle imaging velocimetry) was designed and quantitative ultrasonic flow fields in the gap between the ultrasonic vibrator and heat source were measured. Utilizing acoustic streaming induced by ultrasonic vibration, surface temperature drop of cooling object was also measured. The study on smart cooling method by acoustic streaming induced by ultrasonic vibration was performed due to the empirical relations of flow pattern, average flow velocity, different gaps, and enhancement on cooling rates in the gap. Average velocity fields and maximum acoustic streaming velocity in the open gap between the stationary cylindrical heat source and ultrasonic vibrator were experimentally measured at no vibration, resonance, and non-resonance. It was clearly observed that the enhancement of cooling rates existed owing to the acoustic air flow in the gap at resonance and non-resonance induced by ultrasonic vibration. The ultrasonic wave propagating into air in the gap creates steady-state secondary eddy called acoustic streaming which enhances heat transfer from the heat source to encompassing air. The intensity of the acoustic streaming induced by ultrasonic vibration experimentally depended upon the gap between the heat source and ultrasonic vibrator. The ultrasonic vibration at resonance caused the increase of the acoustic streaming velocity and convective heat transfer augmentation when the flow fields by 3D stereoscopic PIV and temperature drop of the heat source were measured experimentally. The acoustic streaming velocity of air enhancement on cooling rates in the gap is maximal when the gap agrees with the multiples of half wavelength of the ultrasonic wave, which is specifically 12 mm.

For 3D display applications, auto-stereoscopic display methods that can provide 3D images without glasses have been actively developed. This paper is concerned with developing a display system for elemental images of real space using integral imaging. Unlike the conventional method, which reduces a color image to the level as much as a generated depth image does, we have minimized original color image data loss by generating an enlarged depth image with interpolation methods. Our method was efficiently implemented by applying a GPU parallel processing technique with OpenCL to rapidly generate a large amount of elemental image data. We also obtained experimental results for displaying higher quality integral imaging rather than one generated by previous methods.

Recent advances in the media have no special change is the development of the 3D stereoscopic image, which started in the movie is coming over now to the broadcast. Confusing variety having, in the production of 3D images that are waiting for the standardized production. 3D images of them being used in broadcast subtitles, first because there is no standardized production systems, making it look is dedicated to the time and effort. This research necessary to create 3D images of these subtitles, titles, text-based objects, such as Rig imaging using a standardized way to synthesize the most stable is proposed. First, with captions or titles, and the readability and understanding of the uniqueness to the human eye to create an environment that is kind of crowd. Because of this, excessive camera Ferrell Rex (gap) created a branch bunch of snow, work should not hurt readability. 100 adult men and women throughout the experiment.
