Recently, with the growth of mixed reality industrial infrastructure, relevant convergence research has been proposed. For real-time mixed reality services such as remote video conferencing, the research on real-time acquisition-process-transfer methods is required. This paper aims to implement an AR remote rendering method of volumetric 3D video data. We have proposed and implemented two modules; one, the parsing module of the volumetric 3D video to a game engine, and two, the server rendering module. The result of the experiment showed that the volumetric 3D video sequence data of about 15 MB was compressed by 6-7%. The remote module was streamed at 27 fps at a 1200 by 1200 resolution. The results of this paper are expected to be applied to an AR cloud service.

Volumetric image system has many applications recently in education, 3D movie, medical images but these applications have several problems that need to be overcome. Volumetric display may process a amount of visual data and design the high efficient vision system for realtime display. In case of stereo system for volumetric display motion vectors, disparity vectors from the stereoscopic sequences and residual images with the reference images has been transmitted, and the stereoscopic sequences have been reconstructed at the receiver for volumetric display. So central issue for the design of efficient volumetric image system lies in selecting an appropriate stereo matching and robust vision system. In this paper, we proposed high efficient vision system, which design vision stage with rotating and moving horizontally, and match the successive stereo image efficiently. In experimental results with volumetric image system, the proposed method represents high efficiency with minimizing error and low computational load for volumetric display.

최근 디바이스와 5G 통신의 비약적인 발전을 통해 가상/증강 현실 분야, 자율 주행 등 3차원 그래픽스 기술에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있으며, 3차원 정보를 면밀하게 표현할 수 있는 포인트 클라우드와 다시점 초실감 콘텐츠가 주목받고 있다. 이와 같은 콘텐츠는 전통적인 2D 비디오 대비 많은 데이터를 사용하고 있기에, 효율적 사용을 위해서는 압축이 필수적으로 요구된다. 이에 따라 국제표준화기구인 ISO/IEC 산하 Moving Picture Expert Group(MPEG)에서는 고밀도 포인트 클라우드 및 초다시점 실감형 콘텐츠에 대한 압축 방안으로 V-PCC(Video based Point Cloud Compression) 및 MIV(MPEG Immersive Video) 기술을 표준화 중에 있으며, 또한, 압축된 데이터를 효율적으로 저장, 전송하기 위한 방안으로 Carriage of Visual Volumetric Video Coding(V3C) 표준화가 진행중에 있다. 본 고에서는 MPEG에서 진행중인 V3C 표준 기술에 대하여 살펴보고자 한다.

The latest volumetric technology's high geometrical accuracy and realism ensure a high degree of correspondence between the real object and the captured 3D model. Nevertheless, since the 3D model obtained in this way constitutes a sequence as a completely independent 3D model between frames, the consistency of the model surface structure (geometry) is not guaranteed for every frame, and the density of vertices is very high. It can be seen that the interconnection node (Edge) becomes very complicated. 3D models created using this technology are inherently different from models created in movie or video game production pipelines and are not suitable for direct use in applications such as real-time rendering, animation and simulation, and compression. In contrast, our method achieves consistency in the quality of the volumetric 3D model sequence by linking re-meshing, which ensures high consistency of the 3D model surface structure between frames and the gradual deformation and texture transfer through correspondence and matching of non-rigid surfaces. And It maintains the consistency of volumetric 3D model sequence quality and provides post-processing automation.

3D Point Cloud는 3D 콘텐츠를 더욱 실감 나게 표현하기 위한 데이터 포맷이다. Point Cloud 데이터는 3차원 공간상에 존재하는 데이터로 기존의 2D 영상에 비해 거대한 용량을 가지고 있다. 최근 대용량 Point Cloud의 3D 데이터를 압축하기 위해 V-PCC(Video-based Point Cloud Compression)와 같은 다양한 방법이 제시되고 있다. 따라서 Point Cloud 데이터의 원활한 전송 및 저장을 위해서는 V-PCC와 같은 압축 기술이 요구된다. V-PCC는 Point Cloud의 데이터들을 Patch로써 뜯어내고 2D에 Projection 시켜 3D의 영상을 2D 형식으로 변환하고 2D로 변환된 Point Cloud 영상을 기존의 2D 압축 코덱을 활용하여 압축하는 기술이다. 이 V-PCC로 변환된 2D 영상은 기존 2D 영상을 전송하는 방식을 활용하여 네트워크 기반 전송이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 V-PCC 방식으로 압축한 V3C 데이터를 방송망으로 전송 및 소비하기 위해 MPEG Media Transport(MMT) Packet을 만드는 패킷화 방안을 제안한다. 또한 Server와 Client에서 주고받은 V3C(Visual Volumetric Video Coding) 데이터의 비트스트림을 비교하여 검증한다.

Since spatio-temporal local features for video representation have become an important issue of modeless bottom-up approaches in action recognition, various methods for feature extraction and description have been proposed in many papers. In particular, BoF(bag of features) has been promised coherent recognition results. The most important part for BoF is how to represent dynamic information of actions in videos. Most of existing BoF methods consider the video as a spatio-temporal volume and describe neighboring 3D interest points as complex volumetric patches. To simplify these complex 3D methods, this paper proposes a novel method that builds BoF representation as a way to learn 2D interest points directly from video data. The basic idea of proposed method is to gather feature points not only from 2D xy spatial planes of traditional frames, but from the 2D time axis called spatio-temporal frame as well. Such spatial-temporal features are able to capture dynamic information from the action videos and are well-suited to recognize human actions without need of 3D extensions for the feature descriptors. The spatio-temporal BoF approach using SIFT and SURF feature descriptors obtains good recognition rates on a well-known actions recognition dataset. Compared with more sophisticated scheme of 3D based HoG/HoF descriptors, proposed method is easier to compute and simpler to understand.

This paper focuses on lossy medical image compression methods for medical images that operate on three-dimensional(3D) irreversible integer wavelet transform. We offer an application of the Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees(SPIHT) algorithm〔l-3〕to medical images, using a 3-D wavelet decomposition and a 3-D spatial dependence tree. The wavelet decomposition is accomplished with integer wavelet filters implemented with the lifting method, where careful scaling and truncations keep the integer precision small and the transform unitary. As the compression rate increases, the boundaries between adjacent coding units become increasingly visible. Unlike video, the volume image is examined under static condition, and must not exhibit such boundary artifacts. In order to eliminate them, we utilize overlapping at axial boundaries between adjacent coding units. We have tested our encoder on medical images using different integer filters. Results show that our algorithm with certain filters performs as well. The improvement is visibly manifested as fewer ringing artifacts and noticeably better reconstruction of low contrast.
