With the development of virtual reality (VR) technology, the future of VR systems is evolving
from single-user wired connections to multi-user wireless connections. However, wireless …

In this paper we consider immersive visual media that are currently researched within
scientific community. These include the well-established technologies, like 360-degree …

Recent GAN-based (Generative adversarial networks) inpainting methods show remarkable
improvements and generate plausible images using multi-stage networks or Contextual …

Many new DCT-like transforms have been proposed since the first edition of this book. For
example, the integer DCT that yields integer transform coefficients, the directional DCT to …

High quality virtual views need to be synthesized from adjacent available views for free
viewpoint video and multiview video coding (MVC) to provide users with a more realistic 3D …

This paper proposes a disocclusion inpainting framework for depth-based view synthesis. It
consists of four modules: foreground extraction, motion compensation, improved …

The free-view image could suffer from a viewpoint change attack, although it may be not
malicious. This paper focuses not only on this viewpoint change attack, but also on the other …

The depth-image-based rendering is a key technique for 3D video and free viewpoint video
synthesis. One of the critical problems in current synthesis methods is that the background …

Interactive multiview video streaming (IMVS) services permit to remotely navigate within a
3D scene with an immersive experience. This is possible by transmitting a set of reference …

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 …
