Depth-image-based rendering (DIBR) is fundamental to 3D-TV applications because the
generation of new viewpoints is recurrent. Like any tool, DIBR methods are subject to …

Multi-view video plus depth (MVD) data offer a reliable representation of three-dimensional
(3D) scenes for 3D video applications. This is a huge amount of data whose compression is …

Completely embedded in the 3D era, depth maps coding becomes a must in order to favour
3D admission to different fields of application, ranging from video games to medical imaging …

With the recent explosion in the development of multimedia hardware capable of 3D display,
3D Picture Coding Systems have assumed a pivotal role. While encoding techniques for …

New 3D applications such as 3DTV and FVV require not only a large amount of data, but
also high-quality visual rendering. Based on one or several depth maps, intermediate views …

Many researches on efficient depth maps coding issues have been carried out giving
particular attention to sharp edge preservation. Platelet-based coding method is an edge …

Multiview video employs the utilization of both texture and depth video information from
different angles to create a 3D video for more realistic view of a scene. Unlike texture, depth …

On ne peut que constater combien la technologie vidéo est devenue omniprésente en un
peu plus d'une décennie. Si les besoins des nouveaux services vidéo ont été en partie …

For some 3D applications, one may want to focus on a specific depth zone representing a
region of interest in the scene. In this context, we introduce a new functionality called …

Large real-life scenes can be captured in 3D efficiently by current capturing devices. The
captured 3D data can be transmitted over the internet to a remote viewer, who can …
