3D Visual Media Synthesis and Analysis for Auto-Stereoscopic Display and Aerial 3D Display, Hideo Saito

Description

3D visual media takes much attention in recent years. 3D cinemas and 3D TV have already been getting popular in recent few years. One of the most significant issues for practical use of such 3D visual technologies is the method for creating contents which are suitable to 3D display system. Without contents to be displayed, the 3D display cannot show anything. In this talk, I would like to talk about 3D visual media synthesis and analysis using multiple viewpoint cameras for auto-stereoscopic display. 3D geometrical structure of target scene is captured with the multiple viewpoint cameras, and/or with depth cameras, then arbitrary viewpoints videos are sent to auto-stereoscopic display for 3D viewing. Such arbitrary viewpoints videos can also be displayed for virtual/augmented reality applications. I would also like to introduce aerial 3D display system that can truly show a sequence of illuminating dots at arbitrary positions in the aerial space. The illuminating dots can be generated based on laser-plasma phenomenon. I will talk about the history of the development of the aerial 3D display system. Then I will also introduce the method for generating 3D contents that can be displayed with the aerial 3D display.
