본 연구에서는 DIBR(Depth-Image-Based Rendering) 기법을 사용한 다시점 중간 영상 생성을 하는데 있어서 최종 중간 영상의 화질을 개선하기 위한 방법으로 깊이 정보의 확장과 메쉬 구성 (즉, 표면 재구성) 그리고 이 방법들을 교차 적용하여 어떤 것이 가장 좋은 결과를 낼 수 있는 지에 대해서 실험하였다. 마이크로소프트사에서 제공하는 브레이크 댄서와 발레 영상을 사용하여 실험 결과를 살펴보았고 다양한 틈새 영역 채움 알고리즘을 적용시켜 분석해 보았다. 실험 결과는 기존의 점 구름만을 활용하는 것보다 깊이 정보를 확장하는 방법과 메쉬 구성 방법을 모두 시켰을 때 가장 좋은 결과가 나타났다. 그리고 틈새 영역 채움 알고리즘을 적용하기 전에는 깊이 확장만으로도 충분히 화질이 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

Public sectors around the world utilize social media tools and technologies in their daily activities for a variety of purposes, including disseminating useful information, fostering mass collaboration, and enforcing laws and regulations. A number of social media-based government stage models have emerged to document this use. In this chapter, we conducted a qualitative meta-synthesis of four social media-based government models. These models include 1) the open government maturity model, 2) the social media utilization model, 3) the adoption process for social media, and 4) the social media-based engagement model. The concepts, metaphors, and themes contained in these developmental models are extracted through a series of in-depth semantic analyses of descriptions, resulting in a common frame of reference.

Unsupervised deep learning methods have shown impressive results for the challenging monocular depth estimation task, a field of study that has gained attention in recent years. A common approach for this task is to train a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) via an image synthesis sub-task, where additional views are utilized during training to minimize a photometric reconstruction error. Previous unsupervised depth estimation networks are trained within a fixed depth estimation range, irrespective of its possible range for a given image, leading to suboptimal estimates. To overcome this suboptimal limitation, we first propose an unsupervised adaptive depth estimation method guided by minimum and maximum (min-max) depth priors for a given input image. The incorporation of min-max depth priors can drastically reduce the depth estimation complexity and produce depth estimates with higher accuracy. Moreover, we propose a novel network architecture for adaptive depth estimation, called the AdaMM-DepthNet, which adopts the min-max depth estimation in its front side. Intensive experimental results demonstrate that the adaptive depth estimation can significantly boost up the accuracy with a fewer number of parameters over the conventional approaches with a fixed minimum and maximum depth range.

Since July of 2012, the 3D video extension of H.264/AVC has been under development to support the multi-view video plus depth format. In 3D video applications such as multi-view and free-view point applications, synthesized views are generated using coded texture video and coded depth video. Such synthesized views can be distorted by quantization noise and inaccuracy of 3D wrapping positions, thus it is important to improve their quality where possible. To achieve this, the relationship among the depth video, texture video, and synthesized view is investigated herein. Based on this investigation, an edge noise suppression filtering process to preserve the edges of the depth video and a method based on a total variation approach to maximum a posteriori probability estimates for reducing the quantization noise of the coded texture video. The experiment results show that the proposed methods improve the peak signal-to-noise ratio and visual quality of a synthesized view compared to a synthesized view without post processing methods.

In this paper we propose a new method of Depth-Image-Based Rendering (DIBR) for Free-viewpoint TV (FTV). In the proposed method, virtual viewpoint images are rendered with 3D warping instead of estimating the view-dependent depth since depth estimation is usually costly and it is desirable to eliminate it from the rendering process. However, 3D warping causes some problems that do not occur in the method with view-dependent depth estimation; for example, the appearance of holes on the rendered image, and the occurrence of depth discontinuity on the surface of the object at virtual image plane. Depth discontinuity causes artifacts on the rendered image. In this paper, these problems are solved by reconstructing disparity information at virtual camera position from neighboring two real cameras. In the experiments, high quality arbitrary viewpoint images were obtained.

In this paper, we propose a new system which captures real depth and color information from natural scene and implemented it. Based on it, we produced stereo and multiview images for 3-dimensional stereoscopic contents and introduced the production of a digital hologram which is considered to the next-generation image. The system consists of both a camera system for capturing images which correspond to RGB and depth images and softwares (SWs) for various image processings which consist of pre-processing such as rectification and calibration, 3D warping, and computer generated hologram (CGH). The camera system use a vertical rig with two paris of depth and RGB camera and a specially manufactured cold mirror which has the different transmittance according to wavelength for obtaining images with the same view point. The wavelength of our mirror is about 850nm. Each algorithm was implemented using C and C++ and the implemented system can be operated in real-time.

This paper presents the effects of depth map quantization for multiview intermediate image generation using depth image-based rendering (DIBR). DIBR synthesizes multiple virtual views of a 3D scene from a 2D image and its associated depth map. However, it needs precise depth information in order to generate reliable and accurate intermediate view images for use in multiview 3D display systems. Previous work has extensively studied the pre-processing of the depth map, but little is known about depth map quantization. In this paper, we conduct an experiment to estimate the depth map quantization that affords acceptable image quality to generate DIBR-based multiview intermediate images. The experiment uses computer-generated 3D scenes, in which the multiview images captured directly from the scene are compared to the multiview intermediate images constructed by DIBR with a number of quantized depth maps. The results showed that there was no significant effect on depth map quantization from 16-bit to 7-bit (and more specifically 96-scale) on DIBR. Hence, a depth map above 7-bit is needed to maintain sufficient image quality for a DIBR-based multiview 3D system.

본 연구에서는 피사체의 깊이와 깊이 표현의 상세레벨(detail level)을 각기 다르게 조정한 깊이맵을 이용하여 2D-to-3D 입체변환을 수행하고, 변환된 입체 이미지를 기반으로 시청자 평가 실험을 진행하여 피사체의 절대적 깊이 변화와 배경간의 깊이 차이에 따라 깊이맵의 상세레벨이 깊이감, 볼륨감, 불편감에 미치는 효과를 분석하였다. 주객체의 깊이는 3 레벨로 조정하였고, 또한, 주객체와 배경과의 상대적 깊이 차이도 하나의 독립변인으로 분석하기 위하여 3 레벨로 조정하였다. 깊이맵의 깊이 표현의 상세레벨을 다시 3레벨로 나누어, 이들 조건을 만족하는 18개의 깊이맵을 정의하고 이를 기반으로 실험을 위한 입체영상을 생성하였다. 18개의 입체영상을 실험참가자에게 보여 주고 설문을 통하여 각 영상별로 실험자들이 느끼는 주관적 입체감, 볼륨감, 불편감을 조사하였다. 그 결과 주 피사체의 절대적 위치와 피사체-배경간의 상대적 거리차이가 달라짐에 따라 깊이맵의 상세도가 깊이감, 볼륨감, 불편감에 미치는 영향력이 달라지는 결과를 얻었다. 단색 깊이맵의 경우는 주객체의 절대적 깊이위치에 상관없이 전반적으로 볼륨감을 크게 훼손하고, 스크린의 안쪽에 객체가 위치하는 경우, 다른 상세레벨의 깊이맵에 비해 깊이감도 크게 저하시키는 효과를 보이기 때문에 주객체의 절대적 위치와 상관없이 사용을 피하는 것이 바람직 한 것으로 분석되었다. 또한, 세밀한 깊이맵과 간략한 깊이맵을 적용하였을 때 실험자가 입체감을 크게 다르게 느끼지 못하는 것으로 나타남에 따라 입체변환시 모든 장면에 너무 과도하게 상세한 깊이맵을 구성할 필요가 없는 것으로 분석되었다.

The paper aims to analyze the behaviour of torsional type surface waves propagating through fluid saturated inhomogeneous porous media clamped between two inhomogeneous anisotropic media. We considered three types of inhomogeneities in upper anisotropic layer which varies exponentially, quadratically and hyperbolically with depth. The anisotropic half space inhomogeneity varies linearly with depth and intermediate layer is taken as inhomogeneous fluid saturated porous media with sinusoidal variation. Following Biot, the dispersion equation has been derived in a closed form which contains Whittaker's function and its derivative, for approximate result that have been expanded asymptotically up to second term. Possible particular cases have been established which are in perfect agreement with standard results and observe that when one of the upper layer vanishes and other layer is homogeneous isotropic over a homogeneous half space, the velocity of torsional type surface waves coincides with that of classical Love type wave. Comparative study has been made to identify the effects of various dimensionless parameters viz. inhomogeneity parameters, anisotropy parameters, porosity parameter, and initial stress parameters on the torsional wave propagation by means of graphs using MATLAB. The study has its own relevance in connection with the propagation of seismic waves in the earth where fluid saturated poroelastic layer is present.
