Free-viewpoint television (FTV) and virtual navigation appear to be hot research topics. In
this paper, the authors study the practical development of free-viewpoint television systems …

Accurate extrinsic parameters calibration is crucial particularly in immersive video, where
camera calibration plays a significant role, as its quality is essential for accurate …

The paper presents a new method of depth estimation, dedicated for free-viewpoint
television (FTV) and virtual navigation (VN). In this method, multiple arbitrarily positioned …

ISO/IEC MPEG and ITU-T VCEG have recently jointly issued a new multiview video
compression standard, called 3D-HEVC, which reaches unpreceded compression …

This chapter presents an overview of the acquisition, processing, and rendering pipeline in a
multiview video system, targeting the unique feature of rendering virtual views, not captured …

In the paper, we propose a new method for the virtual view synthesis called as Multiview
Synthesis. In our approach, virtual views are synthesized using two neighboring real views …

In this paper, the color correction method developed for immersive video systems is
presented. The proposed method significantly increases the consistency of color …

The paper presents the concept of a practical free-viewpoint television system with purely
optical depth estimation. The system consists of camera modules that contain pairs or triples …

The paper considers the influence of a lossy compression of multiview video on the quality
of estimated depth maps. We have encoded a set of views with commonly known …

This paper presents a new depth estimation method for multiview systems with arbitrary
camera locations. The method exploits the graph cuts method, where vertices of the graph …
