Multi-view video system provides both realistic 3D feelings and free-view navigation. But it is hard to transmit too huge data, so we send only two or three view images and generate intermediate view image using depth information. In this paper, we propose high quality multi-view image generation method from stereoscopic images. Since the stereo matching method does not provide accurate disparity values for all the pixels, especially at the occlusion area, we propose an occlusion handling method using the background pixels at first. We also apply a joint bilateral filtering to enhance the disparity map at the object boundary since it can affect the quality of synthesized images significantly. Finally, we can generate virtual view images at intermediate view positions using confidence map to reduce bad pixel and hole's error. Experimental results show the proposed method performs better than the conventional method.

DIBR (Depth Image Based Rendering) is a multimedia technology that generates the virtual multi-view images using a color image and a depth image, and it is used for creating glasses-less 3-dimensional display contents. This research describes the effect of depth accuracy about the objective quality of DIBR-based multi-view images. It first evaluated the minimum depth quantization bit that enables the minimum distortion so that people cannot recognize the quality degradation. It then presented the comparative analysis of non-uniform domain-division quantization versus regular linear quantization to find out how effectively express the accuracy of the depth information in same quantization levels according to scene properties.

Depth estimation is a key technology in 3D map generation for autonomous driving of vehicles, robots, and drones. The existing sensor-based method has high accuracy but is expensive and has low resolution, while the camera-based method is more affordable with higher resolution. In this study, we propose self-attention-based unsupervised monocular depth estimation for UAV camera system. Self-Attention operation is applied to the network to improve the global feature extraction performance. In addition, we reduce the weight size of the self-attention operation for a low computational amount. The estimated depth and camera pose are transformed into point cloud. The point cloud is mapped into 3D map using the occupancy grid of Octree structure. The proposed network is evaluated using synthesized images and depth sequences from the Mid-Air dataset. Our network demonstrates a 7.69% reduction in error compared to prior studies.

In the recent digital communication systems, the performance of Turbo Code using the mr correction coding depends on the interleaver influencing the free distance determination and the recursive decoding algorithms that is executed in the huh decoder. However, performance depends on the interleaver depth that needs many delays over the reception process. Moreover, turbo code has been blown as the robust coding methods with the confidence over the fading channel. International Telecommunication Union(ITU) has recently adopted it as the standardization of the channel coding over the third generation mobile communications(IMT­2000). Therefore, in this paper, we preposed the interleaver that has the better performance than existing block interleaver, and modified turbo decoder that has the parallel concatenated structure using MAP algorithm. In the real­time voice and video service over third generation mobile communications, the performance of the proposed two methods was analyzed and compared with the existing methods by computer simulation in terms of reduced decoding delay using the variable decoding method over AWGN and fading channels for CDMA environments.

최근 카메라와 디스플레이의 발전에 따라 고해상도 영상이 요구되고 있다. 하지만 깊이를 획득하는 깊이센서 장치는 색상 영상에 미치지 못하는 저해상도 깊이맵을 주로 제공한다. 이에 따라 저해상도의 깊이맵을 고해상도 깊이맵으로 상향변환이 필요하다. 하지만 대부분의 보간법들은 edge에서 blur가 발생하는 경우가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 distance transform(DT)를 이용하여 edge의 선명도를 향상시킨 고해상도 깊이맵 생성 방법을 제안한다.

For digital holographic video system, it is important to generate digital hologram as fast as possible. This paper proposed a fixed-point method and fast generation method that can calculate the Fresnel hologram using operation of whole-coordinate recursive addition. To compute the digital hologram, 3D object is assumed to be a collection of depth-map point generated using a PC. Our algorithm can compute a phase on a hologram by recursive addition with fixed-point format at a high speed. When we operated this algorithm on a personal computer, we could maximally compute digital hologram about 70% faster than conventional method and about 30% faster than of [3]'s method.

In the recent mobile communication systems, the performance of Turbo Code using the error correction coding depends on the interleaver influencing the free distance determination and the recursive decoding algorithms that is executed in the turbo decoder. However, performance depends on the interleaver depth that need a large time delay over the reception process. Moreover, Turbo Code has been known as the robust ending method with the confidence over the fading channel. The International Telecommunication Union(ITU) has recently adopted as the standardization of the channel coding over the third generation mobile communications such as IMT-2000. Therefore, in this paper, we proposed of the method to improve the conventional performance with the parallel concatenated 4-New Turbo Decoder using MAP a1gorithm in spite of complexity increasement. In the real-time video and video service over the third generation mobile communications, the performance of the proposed method was analyzed by the reduced decoding delay using the variable decoding method by computer simulation over AWGN and fading channels.
