Recent works on machine learning have greatly advanced the accuracy of single image
depth estimation. However, the resulting depth images are still over-smoothed and …

Three-dimensional television (3D-TV) is the next major revolution in television. A successful
rollout of 3D-TV will require a backward-compatible transmission/distribution system …

This paper gives an overview of the state-of-the-art in 3-D video postproduction and
processing as well as an outlook to remaining challenges and opportunities. First …

Stereoscopic 3D content brings with it a variety of complex technological and perceptual
issues. For the percept of depth to be convincing, consistent, and comfortable, a large …

Estimating 3D information from an image sequence has long been a challenging problem,
especially for dynamic scenes. In this paper, a novel semi-automatic 2D-to-3D conversion …

BACKGROUND In recent years, technology (eg, televisions, dvd players, set top boxes, blu-
ray players, computers, and the like) has been developed to allow for 3D video …

Although three-dimensional (3D) displays enhance visual quality more than two-
dimensional (2D) displays do, the depth information required for 3D displays is unavailable …

Recent works on machine learning have greatly advanced the accuracy of depth estimation
from a single image. However, resulting depth images are still visually unsatisfactory, often …

Inferring scene depth from a single monocular image is a highly ill-posed problem in
computer vision. This paper presents a new gradient-domain approach, called depth …
